You might want to be sure they're sending you the exact right parts for a truck as opposed to a Mustang (or vice-versa) ... this applies to both the flywheel and the clutch. If you've got a Mustang flywheel and a truck pressure plate you could have some problems like this. Also wondering how you identified the HO on the 84 motor ? Or is it out of a GT ?

Cons : Increased Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH), could squeak when cold/jolted suddenly. > Also, while I'm >at it, I'm probably going to stack an extra bushing on the tops of all >of the mounts to lift the truck an inch or so...

I'm not sure how the mounts in your truck work, but you'd have to check to be sure the bolts are long enough to secure that or replace them with some that are long enough. remember a body lift will change linkages and such so it may require some readjustment.

If >anyone has had problems with linkages with a 1" body lift, let me know! I didn't mean you'd have to change anything in the sense that the stock parts won't work, just that the linkages might not work quite like you would expect (ie Park may be Reverse or something equally surprising the first time you start it) because as you lift the body the linkages will pivot (hopefully) and their travel might move just enough to cause some minor adjustments to be needed ... can't guarantee this will happen, but just something to be aware of in the back of your mind.
