I had posted this in the "Introduction" area and it was suggested that maybe the "Builds" section would be better for the future progress reports. I also added some pictures of my cab as requested. Here are the pics of my project chassis, cab, etc. I started with a 38' rusted out chassis. The back half was gone. I used 2X4 rectangular tube and kicked the back 21" (I used a 9" from a 74" Torino with coil springs because I had it). I ran the tubing inside the old rusty rails and formed them to follow the frame forward to the "X" member front. I also kicked the front frame up 6" and lengthened it 6". Then a I shortened the "X" member and kicked it to match. Shortening the "X" member opened the gap between the rails allowing more room for trans and mount. I am using a 250 inline 6 (292 when I get the money to build it) with an S-10 5 speed trans. You use what you can find and afford even though it may mean a lot of work. Thanks all for your help and interest. I will get the hang of the site yet. Later
