pm me, i have built several and worked on many more, i can give you some ideas on what to look for.
I buy 1990 to 1999 models without batteries in crappy shape for 200.00-400.00. That is about the only way you can build one and not lose money in the long run. Lift kits are all bolt on and can be bought at many different websites online.
Like I said pm me and I will send my phone # and I can talk to you about it.
