Default early 40s ***** pickup

So i may be getting my uncles 40's ***** pickup. He lives in Alberta Canada so no rust on it. Are there any good websites I can visit that sells kits so I can modernize it? Looking to drop in a LS motor and T56 tranny and a s60

****** owners are a very tight group.. many know each other all the way across the country.

I have see a few with Gen III/IV engine. The engine bay is a little tight, but can be mod'd to put a large engine.. Firewall is a problem, some have moved it back. But nothing that can't been done and hasn't already been done.

I hope you have a large budget.. ****** parts are very costly.. an original fender could go for $1,000.00 each. Trim and small part are hard to find and if found. The owner of the part doesn't want to let it go.. at least not for anything near a cheap price.
