a 70's f100 or f150 had a one piece drive shaft. you can prolly find one in a bone yard for next to nothing and get it cut down to the length you want for a reasonable price.

That's good to know, thanks for the info! I know my local wrecking yard has about 30 late 60's - late 70's Ford pickups so I'll have to check them out next time I'm there.

more pics of the engine mounts please! and are those two u-bolts all that hold the front springs to the frame? it doesn't seem like enough.

I'm just using the u bolts to hold the front end together for now, I'll figure something else out before I get it ready for the road.

I haven't posted any updates in a while but I'm still working on it. Radius rods on, motor and tranny mounts, panhard bar in the rear, body mounts and finished a frame for the floor. Today I shortened the steering column 8" and got it tacked into place.
