Long story short...I was building the wife an '89 GW (Woody #1) when a much better candidate (Woody#2) landed in my lap. The plan is to get #1 (his) driveable while #2 (hers) get's an LS swap, paint and all the goodies. Both are blue 89's.
EDIT:
Some things I will do differently on the second build (His) :
-Go with 3.73 gears instead of 3.54
-Rear mount gas tank instead of spending so much time making the stock tank work with a universal sender and intank pump
-Buy a motor/trans combo from a guy about 2hrs away who sells them turnkey instead of dealing with a donor truck. I couldn't use near as many parts as I thought I'd be able to and pricewise it was probably a wash.
-Go with a smaller fuel pump than the one linked. I had to wire an extra relay to handle the current.

Finish:
