If you are to the point of lifting the engine you are 95% to having it out. It just makes seance to remove the engine to perform the work. Also this gives you the opportunity to detail you engine or address any other issues. Your best bet it to locate a donor truck 73'-87 1/2 ton or up to 91' 3/4. They all used the same X member but the 3/4 used the big spindle and brakes. You can use everything off of the donor including the master cylinder whether it be power or manual. These trucks are fairly easy to come up with for little or nothing.
