I'll get a pic but there is lots of room length wise, it had a Chevy I-6 in it before and the tranny is hooked up with a short pilot shaft(looks like two front yokes hooked together) and the clutch is hooked up using a cable

Going to start rebuilding the brakes today, the plan is to fab in a vacuum boost something about 8" in diameter

Just catching up on the build. So, you bought the truck ten or eleven yrs ago and drove it slowly to an intermediate place of residence. Then more recently you dragged it to its present place of disassembly. You pulled the original engine and are swapping in a new V8. There are clearance questions, but so far so good. But ... there is a remark there I don't understand. What did you do to the box? Step side?

The box was bent and heavy so I cut it up, shortened it and cut the sides down. I'm going to build a step side box out of it like a mid 70's Ford pickup.

Brakes all refurbished, cab all bolted down, added a three inch body lift. Bought a set of 42" SuperSwamper tires.
