If he is good at fabrication its all good. Just get a donor truck 89 to 97, they use the ZF5 5spd, make sure the transfer case us good, take lots of pics before you rip the donor apart so you have a guide. Its basicly a bolt up application. Just remember to fo new nickle/copper breaklines and por 15 the frame. There are tons of fonor 4x4 5sod trucks cheap. Even with plows you coukd sell to recoup costs or have it for yourself.
