Thanks guys for your input. I have been brainstorming the past few days and got half the drivetrain dialed in. As I was laying under the cab it dawned on me that the transfer case linkage might be different from '72 to '89. Well wouldn't yea know they are a little different that makes a lot of change. By using the '72 linkage I was able to move the engine, trans, and transfer case back a couple inches. That enabled me to get to the proper travel for the front driveshaft and aligners better in the high hump.
