got-er-did! took the rear end back out, drilled the holes and set her back 1". the drive shaft mounted up perfect! (thanks dragginmetal) dragonwrecker got the parking brake hooked back up and we bled the brakes out, then took her down the road. dang what a rough ride LOL need to get me a set of drop shocks and that's that. once i get them on i may have a clearance issue with my brake lines where they attach to the pumpkin. (didnt have that issue before i learned the rear end was too far forward hehe) have to see when i get the new shocks on. and another good thing.....my son actually came out and worked on it with me some. which he BETTER since this truck will be passed down to him one day. GOOD TIMES!
NOTE: in the second pic you can see im out there working with my cast shoe on for my broke toe. yeah i know....im dedicated to my build
