Review my checklist for LWB to SWB conversion please

[cochino12]

So I have decided to start working on the swb conversion on my 79 3+3 and want to make sure that I have thought of everything. Is there anything I havent thought about?

First, obviously the shortening of the frame. I will be having a shop in town do this for me and will be keeping it 1 ton. Havent found any write ups on shortening a one ton and keeping it 8 lug? Anything I need to know about cut lines or will the be the same as a 1/2 ton, spring location?

Brake lines need to be shortened. I read that you can just buy swb brake lines? is there a distribution block located somewhere behind the cab? if not I guess I dont understand how this would work or do I need to have new lines bent from the location of the new axle to the engine bay?

Fuel line/Tanks, pretty simple right? just need a couple swb tanks and shorten the lines. Any other options here? Maybe a fuel cell in back with hidden filler neck? Needs easy access because it will be a DD

Drive Shaft. Either get mine shortended or grab one from a swb truck.

Electrical. No big deal there

Here are a couple of links (from Captkaos site and a couple here) that I've found with some info

Sorry for the redundancy, I just want to make sure I'm not forgetting anything
