So to date I have done this:
-Shortened the wheel base
-Installed 5 speed
-dropped e-brake cross member
-installed rear drop springs
-installed rear drop shocks
-installed new brake lines across axle and to the front of the truck
-modified trailing arm cross member to accept a 1 pc drive shaft
-cut floor and installed boot over new 5 speed shifter
-removed all the old 3 on da' tree linkage
-cleaned and "painted" the frame
-dropped cab back on the frame
-welded worn spot on clutch rod (resurfaced it)
-installed new gas tank
-installed new float on sending unit
-adjusted seat belts to fit accordingly
-tapped and installed rocket shift knob
-cleaned all unnecessary brackets and mounts from the frame rails
At this point I couldnt stand it any longer and had to mock up the bed.
(No front end work has been done yet) (no drop in front, but rear springs are in)
