Thank for all the comments everyone. I had fun watching it all go down.
Here's two pictures from the photographer with his tweaking.

I like that white truck.

step through my album here for some pics of how i mounted my rear shocks vertical....

http://s251.photobucket.com/user/RAT...?sort=3&page=2

my truck as so low and the original angle of the shocks would not allow me to run tail pipes up and over the rear, thats why i changed mine...

and i didnt notch my frame because the pumpkin would hit the bed wood first.. i just bolted some rubber pads to the frame so it wouldn't be metal to metal contact, and ran gas shocks.... it would hardly ever hit, and rode pretty darn good...

oh yea, i forgot that i modified them also.... since i flipped the rear, the factory brackets wouldnt work. so i cut off the angled part that the bottom of the shock bolts to, and had the guy at work burn me some flat plates on the laser.... (im lucky to have a full machine shop at my disposal).
but you can get the plates from summit, i think they were going for 75 bucks...
my rear housing was a 12 bolt unit out of a 1980 1/2 ton truck...
i sold the truck 18 months ago, that the reason for my memory loss.

good luck man, any other questions, just ask.

Here is a couple of shots of my 53. Holley Tunnel ram fuel injection on the 383 stroker makes it a great driver. 700 r with a 3.42 gear is the best combo I have.
