70 Shortened LWB truck with rear disk and a 5 speed

I have been doing some work to my 70 Chevy and figured I would share my progress. I started off with a 1970 C20 longbed. The truck from the factory is a leaf spring rear with a Dana 60. I had a friend with a C10 frame, so I cut my frame, removed the rear part of the frame and welded in the back half of the C10. Also installed a Disk Brake Ford 9" with a rebuilt trac-lock (posi for all you non-ford guys, which is probably most of you!) and 3.50 gears. Pulled this out of a local junk yard for $60. Also installed a T-5 transmission. It was a little tricky as the transmission does not bolt up to our bellhousing, but was able to make an aluminum adaptor plate to get it to work. Let me know what you all think. Hopefully the pics will post correctly. First one should be of the truck as it was when I bought it.
