What I was meaning was that the engine and transmission sit farther back in the frame on a Monty. For example, the since the truck's engine sits farther forward, the oil pan sump is in front of the front diff. On the Monty's it's behind the diff. If you sat a truck cab on a Monty frame so that the front wheels were centered in the fenders, the engine would end up in the firewall.

I dunno about that,if the fenders are the same length, then there will be little work comparitively speaking.

But then again, if you are dropping in a 4.3, maybe this wouldn't be a concern. Maybe you could just move your new combo farther forward. This would give you more rear driveshaft length <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />.

As for the measurements, give me a couple days, my bro swiped my tape measure out of my toolbox last weekend <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />.
