I pulled the ECU and wiring harness from the 1 ton and have it set aside. pulled the valve covers off the 454 to see it there was any sludge (looked very clean, the oil look pretty nice when I drained it. pulled the trans brake off the tail shaft, looks like I can get away with using a TH400 slip yoke and not have to change out the tail housing. Going junkyarding this week to see if I can find a 9.5 14 bolt, found 5 lug axles for it pretty penny but need the rest of the rearend if i'm going to make the swap.

Does anyone know where I can source the passenger side A/C bracket?
are the diesel brackets similar to the BBC? I might have a set from the 6.5 I had several years ago.

The 1 ton doesn't have A/C but the 1/2 ton does and wanted to keep it when I dropped the 454 in the c1500.
