Okay so i guess i can start back into this build again.
But plans have changed a good bit, ill sort of explain it as i go.
So a few months ago i bought an 82 GMC that i was going to just run around and not do anything too, but now its getting torn apart.

Anyway the plan now is the take this cab and put on my shortbed frame.
I will take the rear leaf springs from the longbed and put them on my disk brake 14b and still use it on the shortbed frame.
The white truck has a d44 front axle which i will use under my shortbed now.
So i believe before i was going to have 8-9" of lift and now im looking a 4-5".
For now i am going to run one of my 350s with a sm465 and np205 (same plan as before) But in the future i want to replace that with a BBC and probably a th400.
As for the Dana 60 and some of the other parts that were supposed to be going on this project they will now be going on the 82 longbed frame to begin another project, but it will be a while till i start doing anything with that project.

Got the bed off and sold it to a friend of mine.

Also got the motor out and started tearing it apart. This was the 355 that was originally in my shortbed truck then i put in this truck, oil pressure was starting to get low and she just doesnt run as good as it used to but its deffinitly taken a beating. Probably going to rebuild it and use for another project but not sure since its just a two bolt main block.

Don't worry about the block being a two bolt unless your gonna go with forced induction or copious amount of nitrous.

Looks like the 3/4ton was an old county truck by the fire wall color.

Well the small block is for a future project so im not in a hurry to start it because im not real sure what direction i want to go. I was told the 3/4 ton was an ex plow truck not sure if that was for the county or not when i got it it still had everything for the pto just didnt have the plow.

Got a little more done today. Learned a few things also.

Axle, leaf springs, and rear driveshaft are out.
Anyway i thought that almost all if not all longbeds came from the factory with 56" long rear springs, guess not. Anyway i pulled the springs out without ever measuring them put new bushings in them and put them on the back of my shortbed frame and the shackle angle was completely horrible. I then decided to measure the springs and found out that they were only 52" long and not the 56" springs that i needed. In the end i guess it works out though because i can use these 52" springs in the front since i already have them instead of running 56" springs on all four corners like i was going too.

IIRC only the 1 tons used the 56" rear springs.
