Whats the best setup.....for the $$$

I have an 86 S-10 Chassis that I am putting under a 1950 Chevy Pickup body. I have a modest budget and decent fab skills. I'm going with a Chevy 350 and a 700-R4 feeding a Ford 9" in the rear.
This truck will be a daily driver and do some towing.

I want a 2" front drop and beefier disk brakes.
I've read till I fall asleep at the keybaord about this and that setup.

What should I buy and where? What combination is the best bang for the buck?
From what I've read I'm favoring drop spindles.

Thanks for any help!
