72longbed, just the TH350 adapter. I have the output shaft from advance adapters.

I read in a mag years ago that one can install a 73-? engine crossmember in 67-72 K10/20 trucks. The 73-? xmember's back four holes match, so one must only drill where the rivets were on its extra brackets to the frame.

I know that this opens up oil pan choices, but I don't know if it helps ease engine fitment concerns. Just thought I'd throw it into the mix.

Tuff Country`s 6" kit comes with a t-case drop.A good idea for d-shaft angles.But,won`t this tilt the engine back,making even a tighter fit against the firewall?
