late night, paul and i just got back from the shop.  new cab is hanging over the new frame.  i have some problems due to the small block fitting really tight into the engine bay.  looks like i have to move the engine up, the front axle up, re think the old crossmember and no chance of using same driveshafts.

ill decided what to do when i get into the firewall and see exactly whats there, the hard line was rotted to the slave cyclinder so i just cut it when we pulled the cab, and i gave the slave to the guy that bought the motor.  Not sure which way ill end up going, i have always had mechanicals on trail rigs, less fluids to bleed and less problems.
