Yes I had intended to put the 465 in but lets just say money has become an issue and unlike most of the folks here my truck is my only vehicle. I'd planned this swap to be as quick and painless as possible but I'm afraid a driveline shortening will be extremely costly..

I have an engine leveler.
I suspect the problem is that the cab is twisted. There's pretty serious impact damage to the drivers side. The repairs den were the usuall for a lumber truck..pull this.. Hammer that... Tighten this.... It's no show truck but it does it's job very well.

Thanks for your suggestions though.
