So whenever i get my truck, if it doesnt already, i want to put some dana 60s front and rear w/ detroit lockers. Also i want to add a skyjacker 6 inch lift kit with some TSL Super swamppers. Plus it wouldnt hurt to also have a 351 windsor.
Now to my questions:
1. What else would be a good idea adding on to my list for my truck to run better or smooth and become a good daily driver and a offroad toy?
2. I know this will cost quite a bit for a 16 year old so how much am i looking at if i wanted to add everything here plus the extra parts i might have to buy?

For off-road, just remember that it is torque more than horsepower that pulls it along. You don't need no 1000 HP high winding engine to get it off-road. Even a decent straight 6 with lots of low-end torque is fun off-road, and more economic on the highways.
Buying used parts from a junk yard -sorry, "recycler" - is a good way to save money. Just get someone who knows more about mechanics than you do to go with you until you learn what you need. Sticking to "older" equipment, like the late 1970s , can make it easier to get and keep things running until you learn more.
Just remember, the difference between 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive is about 40 feet.
