Pic may be sideways because I’m using my phone. Here is a shot of the drag link. I’m using the CTSV pan. Not 100% on my angle but mocked up drive shaft and all is well. I appreciate the positive feedback. Baby steps. Let me know if I can help in any way. We look to be at about the same point in the process
Thanks for the response. Your oil pan appears to be about 1/2 inch or so closer to the drag link than mine, so not that big of a difference. Not sure it would be worth the expense and effort to change them out. We will see.

FYI -- I am going to mock the whole truck up and then going to disassemble for all the paint. My gut says if I painted everything ahead of time I would be needing to cut and weld something already painted. With that being said you are way ahead of me. I have a goal of Dec 2020 though!
