I think I can do mine for $1000 lol I'm cheap and can find parts cheap

doing it for a thousand dollars and keeping it street legal might be kinda tough

You're going to need a bracket kit. Either a 70s ford hp d44 or d60, if you wanna keep chevy axles you need a new transfer case. And then a driveshaft. Shocks. Shock hoops welded on. Leaf springs. Either a shackle flip or set of blocks for the rear. Cross over steerimg setup. New knuckles. The list goes on.

I'm planning on making the same swap soon. I have my cost figured under $1,000 though. You can get axles from a pull-a-part for $85 each regardless of what they are. That should bring your cost WAY down if you feel like searching a bit.
