Best all-around solvent for engine work?
When I was in Brasil I discovered 99% iso alcohol was water cheap. I bought a gallon like for a few bucks. They also have that purple goop for aluminum... but it leaves a type of stain.. it's from the boat industry. Even though it stains aluminum, we use it on our expensive KTM's engine cases...- shiftpro

Pull 6.2 and 700r4 as a unit?
Why not if the lift is strong enough and you have the headroom? Does the 6.2 weigh more than a big block..? Like I mentioned above with Originalguy if the lift/crane is up to it why not?

33X12.5X15 Mud Terrain Tires
I would be more concerned with a side knob hooking the rear lip of the (front) fender. 33s are too big unless you only top toe around in the city. Twist even a little and you will hear a new sound. So rubbing metal with for example a. AT tire is bad enough, but mud boots with the lugs are much...- shiftpro

Interior colors 1979
Not exactly work truck colors but wow, beautiful all the same. And if not a work truck... well what else is a young man going to do in a truck like that? Still have the risk of getting the bench seat stained! Oh memories (hey not mine, unfortunately) -
Canadian shipping
Shipping prices in Canada recently had another increase. I just priced out shipping two VW brake rotors. They fit in an 10x10" x 4" box and on the high side would weigh 25lbs. Distance is 400 Ks. The cheapest shipping through Canada Post is $50.- shiftpro

Does you rear driveshaft have a slip joint in it..? Or slip joint in the transfer case. If that's the case (pun) you may want to consider a CV coming out of the TC and slip joint in the shaft. Long shocks, lose the lift blocks, and you will have more suspension droop which = better off road...- shiftpro

And yes in fact that a D60 up front and GM 14 bolt in the back. Front suspension looks bomber, but the rear could be improved.
