Sorry for the late response, just saw this. I can take some pictures tomorrow if you want. it fits pretty well, but the fbody radiator just needs a few plastic tabs cut off. I can snap some pics tomorrow or thursday.

Got some more done, just need to do some touch ups and then reassemble the front end. I mashed the threads on the lower control arm u-bolts, so I need to find some of those tomorrow before everything goes back together. The end of this frame grinding/painting crap in the front can't come fast enough...I hate it. It won't be as bad from here though, as all the nooks and crannies are up front.

Next up is to remove the cab and keep working my way back. The f body oil pan came in, so I need to paint that and get the engine in. If anyone is looking for an oil pan for a lowered truck with an LS motor, the cheapest I've found one is here:

Be sure to get the windage tray, pickup, dipstick tube and dipstick. Takes the newer style oil filter (PF48). I need to weld in an oil drain for the turbo setup and then paint. Hopefully I'll have the engine in the truck within the next two weeks.
