That is a great project. Will be following closely. Can I copy / 'steel' your idea?

Interesting project. Can't wait to see the finished product. Keep posting the great pictures. Love the "Chip Foose Overhaulin" concept.

Got the driver side rear floor pan in and filled in between the door pillars.

That a commercial shop, or just your home shop?

Looks GREAT - keep the photos coming! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
The tranny you sold me is in the Air Force M37 and I'm working on the engine re-build.

Looking at Major Joe's pictures and it looked like some of the rod bearing caps have been ground down. Am I seeing things? If they have been ground down any idea why.

Two comments, not sure how you are going to fit the starter, and geeze you will need a football field to turn that sucker around .

Starter will fit fine along the pass side frame rail. It will be fine with the added length. A reg cab long box pick up has a 140" wheelbase my M37 is at a 148" wheelbase. My 03 crew cab long box Dodge 3500 has a 160" wheelbase and I never had problems driving it in tight places. It really just looks longer in the pictures than it really is.
