All looks good Gene. Now I feel special that you're posting pictures for me, HA! But those details are MUCH appreciated as they all help me plan out my 56 before I even put a wrench to it.

Wish I wasn't so deep into other projects, as I have a bad itch to scratch on my 56 project. It'll make a really sweet vintage daily driver with all Dakota underneath. My Dak right now, on a good day may get 200ho to the rear wheels. I plan a remanufactured 4.7HO engine for the 56, with intake and exhaust for better breathing, so I may get close to 300hp to the rear wheels on the 56. Plus with the lower 1st gear in the 545RFE trans versus the 5-spd manual in my Dakota should make it pretty perky for me. Fun and proper V8 rumble to be had.
