Diesel Bombers - My dream truck

Hello, iam 22 years old and in the navy. I joined this place to do research on my dream truck I wanna build, its a 73-87 chevy crew cab short bed with a Cummins, and maybe 3 or four link front and rear suspension. I am mechanily inclined, my only thing is I understand all the work that's its going to take but I don't have a place to do the work first of all and I would like to have the link suspension but I know what I suppose to look like but how to make it properly I don't understand. So theirs my intro, any help would be much appericeated along with input good or bad.
:hellox: sorry for my horrible spelling and grammar. lol
