Hi folks, I am knew here, and would welcome feedback. I have a 1984 chevy with a utility bed, it is my stand-by work truck, my main truck is a 2000 GMC.  Anyway I am thinking about converting it to a 4WD and installing bucket seats in it. I talked to a guy about doing the work, any things to look out for? Suggestions, mistakes to watch out for?

First of welcome from maryland. Second swap the cab and bed onto a 4x4 frame it will save you time and money. Also the cabs are different from 4x2 and 4x4 you will need to put a body lift in or change center humps
