I have been around classic cars my whole life. It costs alot of money to any vehicle to build them. It only varies based on how nice you want the vehicle to be.
This build is planned to be a full restore. Frame and all.
I may be broke when I die, but I had fun building my cars/trucks on the way there!
here is the receipt. Great place. They ship to anywhere. 3.5 inch steel driveshaft. I wanted smaller diameter for extra clearance under truck and strength. I got it home, scruffed it and clear coated the drievshaft. People think it is Aluminum. LOL
Thanks. Hard to believe, but with relative help, we did this build in 10 weeks. Of course a lot of planning was done prior to the build. My wallet is smoking at this point.
If anyone has questions, feel free to ask. Many things we addressed during the build that was not in the posts.

looks great! I like the headers. how well did engine fit up against firewall and heater box?
I used holley motor mounts and headers. Also, holley heater box cover. It is a must to have clearance for the heater box. I wanted a factory look. Some guys cut and mod their heater boxes, but I wanted it to look as if factory made.
Headers were close to the frame on the drivers side, with that I massaged the frame to add in some clearance.
Firewall clearance is about a inch from what I remember... not alot of room lol....
FYI, I have the cab off and on probably 10x to check for clearance etc.
