Guys, thanks so much for the advice. I am fairly sure the condition of the 700R4 is good to go, as I drove it for a little while before pulling it, and the whole setup was nice and strong. It was built as a getaway vehicle for bank robberies, and would break the rear wheels loose at 45 on dry pavement. Gonna try to keep the entire drivetrain all together, as it was a nicely matched setup. Never got it above 75, but I'm pretty sure it will cruise along. Only problem is that the 350 is setup to run on 93 octane MINIMUM. When I first got the truck from the auction, they had put 87 in the truck, and it would barely run. I limped it to the local "fuel station" and put 106 in it. Ran like a raped ape.

I believe I am going to stick with the lwb, slap some fresh paint over the white that is there, clean the interior up a little and roll with it. I honestly don't even think I'm going to drop it at all. I kind of like having a truck as a truck. Love the looks of the lowered trucks, but I still want a decent payload capacity. I will start digging into the trailer braking system soon.
