If I'm reading your comment right, yep, the shaft is the right size for the clutch disc. It slides right in to that luckily

What I think the issue has been is most of the guys add a spacer between the transmission and bellhousing, I originally thought it was an adapter but after playing with my setup, it appears that it's a spacer. This spacer keeps the input shaft out of the crank and the pilot bushing and unfortunately isn't a route that I want to pursue at this time due to not wanting to re-do the driveline again. The next time it will get modified is when the truck has a V8 and a 6 speed

I guess it all boils down to learning lessons the hard way but hopefully I will have valid input for others doing the same thing

the spacer or adaptor is so that you do not have to cut off the end of the pilot shaft and a couple of other mods. it is essential that the pilot shaft is supported by a bearing or bushing
