That should be a nice combo . Are you going to keep it FI ? Maybe it will be a dually ?
The rear axle was the main reason I picked up the truck and the fact it had the 5.8, I'll use the complete drive train as is, drive shaft will need to be shortened approximately 4 inches..
The weather has been super hot and humid for around here so didn't want to get involved sandblasting so decided to tackle the rust spot that was under the windshield weather stripping on the driver side..
after exploring with a pick there were more holes as I expected
So began making a patch to weld in
When I decided to clean off the paint on the flat area under the brow I discovered dark spots in the metal and started to pick at it and to no surprise but to disappointment there was more pin holes that became a finger hole
So this is the hold up until that patch panel arrives, until then I continue on the projects around the house..
The patch panel should eliminate the need of the piece I made..
They just about make everything now for the 56 abe except the dash but imagine it won't be long before that is available too or the complete cab in steel

Are you going to run the coil springs and I beams off the 95, or use a straight axle?
John your builds are always informative and well documented. Not sure if I have asked before but will you need a CVOR to license this truck for the road with the dually rear axle?
With the single rear wheels your GVW should be below the requirement but was wondering if the dually would make it too high.
Keep up the good work and documentation.
I asked about that when I had it registered in my name, will see what happens when the time comes and it's on the road which will be for awhile from now..lol
