Here is my plans for my next project.  Mainly building for street use, but will take it offroad on CA trails (Rubicon & the like).   I want to build something that I can daily drive (I work 10m  from house), that I will tow (either trailer or flat-tow) to trails, but then can drive back (when doing a loop).

I've build a few rigs, mainly for off-roading/rockcrawling.
Currently wheeling a 62 IH Scout 80 (350SBC on Propane, SM465/NP241/NP205, 1 tons, 39' stickes).
Previous drivetrain on Scout was SM465/D18 on D44s with 35s.

Plans for this flatty (I apologize if I insult some purists).

These are the parts I have for it so far
Buick 3800 (from a 92 Buick with less than 5k miles..)
T18 (getting from a friend who is going 5 speed.
D18 w/OD (bought a few months ago)
D44s (From a Wagoneer)
Suspension seats, low back

Other plans/things I'll be doing:
SUA 2.5-3.5" lift (Jeep YJ, BDS springs)
PS- standard Jeep box, 1 ton TRE/DL
31-33" tires (haven't figured that out yet)

It will be a 1-2 year build.
Haven't figured out gears yet (I think they are in the 3s, so that will change).
If they are 4.10s, I might leave them and ad lunchbox lockers.
Otherwise, probably 5.13s/5.38s, lunchbox with either ARB or Detroit rear.
