As far as I know...if it blows I have a fresh block we'll go a bit deeper with.

This. Isn't it just like four rivets to cut through to slide the frame up?

Anyways, I was hoping to see it back halved, since I can't afford it!

Why does it matter? Is it your project? It's done the way I chose to do it. Thanks for the useful input.

I believe so if done correctly. I considered cutting the rivets. But I didn't want bolts holding the frame together.

If I had a dollar for every time I had to say that.. :hehe:

Cool build, interested to see how many miles you get out of that engine now..
 
Should be a fun ride! I have seen many frames shortened that way with good results... That's how we'll be doing mine when we do the short bed conversion in it...

The FSM says Grade 5 or higher bolts is adequate for replacing rivets. I certainly wouldn't be afraid of bolts, they hold everything else together on a truck.
 
Some updates....I'm still waiting on the manifold so I can install turbo...I don't have the bed on, but I got it back running...fuel lines, brakes etc...
