Really? You're against manual transmissions?

Nope.. Only one auto trans on our fleet. But for this application I'd want auto.... but that's me.
And this is your build

I'm also grabbing a crate rear end. Looking like a 9" with a Detroit Tru-trac diff. 4:11 gears with the T56 trans should put me at 80mph around 2000 rpm in 6th gear. I can make that work. The 9" should hold all the power I can throw at it.
Proabably U joints would be the weak link.
1350 u-joints will take everything you'll throw at them. The aftermarket makes some very stout units, spec a 1350 yoke when you order up the axle.

Good advice, thanks!

Getting ready to cut 5-1/2 inches out of this frame so I can put a short bed on a long bed frame.

Kind of one and a half times. I'm pretty sure I got it right. And, since nothing I do yet really makes a difference in the long run this isn't that big of a deal. If the mounting holes are off for the bed I'll just redrill them.
The entire rear suspension is going away anyway so I don't even have to keep things square for that although I will obviously.

Some pie cuts to allow me to adjust the angle of the frame since the front part of the frame is narrower.

What are you using for a weldor?

I'm going to tack it together with a Miller synchro Wave 180 TIG. Final welding will be a 250 amp Lincoln MIG welder I picked up at an auction. I'm also going to plate the outside and fit a 6x2 channel on the inside of the frame rails as far as I can go in each direction over the seam.
I'm also going to box the frame and I'll tie that into the 6x2 channel.
I'm not a fabrication scientist for a living but I think that might be enough.
