Hey thanks a lot guys this is awesome, I was dreading having to make some of these panels that need replacing. As far as for beating the truck with the TH350, it is built as strong as a th350 will let you build it. We actually got the donor truck in a trade for an 86 S-10 that we had laying around, the 73 has a bad transfer case but that is no big deal. The 468 BB has less than 5k on it and the tranny is the same, also just to make sure that the T-case was dead we made sure that the truck would leave two very long black marks in our parking lot and yep it sure did!!!! Any way this will be a fun project and we can't wait to get it done. We will have a mini (sorry for the Cliche') Grave Digger for our shop truck.
Thanks for all the help so far and in the future we will keep an update going.
Jason
