It's looking very nice! But I have to agree, a 6 cylinder would make that truck so much more fun.

I got my chassis rolling last night. Next step is engine, trans, and transfer case.

We're just pacing each other...

We had a local shop build it out, but I was in there alot. I don't have any pics of the coupler, 27 to 31 spline (if I remember right

), but we did have to chase a new down...wasn't with the Dodge 205 I picked up.

Cool man, thanks! I am trying to mate a 10spl 205 to a 32 spline chevy using the Dodge adapter like you have. Now I know for a fact that there is a coupler available!
