Planning to pull everything as a unit. I don't have the truck here yet (that'll happen in a couple of weeks) and I figured I might have to negotiate around the suspension.

The truck has a blown (not supercharged, BLOWN) all-iron small block Chevy (SBC) and a TH350 in it so I don't think the MB will be a lot heavier.

I was worried about the driveshaft but Carolina Driveline can work with this and put the slipyoke at the rear, using the rest of the MB driveshaft. Doesn't sound terminally expensive.
