My truck is a 36' with a 37' cab. Had an 8BA in it when found. These fit in kinda snug but seems to work out fine. Makes real good power with the light weight of the truck. One thing, determined I have a later steering box. This might have been put in to help with the fitting of the 8BA. Would have to see them both side by side, but it works. I also had to go looking for the vin-ID # for reg. purposes. Could not find it any where. Did some research and found it is supposed to be on top of LH frame rail, under the box. Believe me, it's easier to find a cop who is a car guy to sign it off than it is to do it all legit. I hope TX. DMV does not hold your feet in the fire like Ca. did to me! Good luck with your new project.
