I probably do. I will see what I can dig up@mryanangel do you have a photo of your crossmember trans mount. Thats my project this weekend and want to know how much you spaced your trans above the crossmember. Thanks.
Post #419 is where I have the details and pics. I used a piece of 1" x 2" rectangular tube to space the dodge trans mount up off the Toyota crossmember.@mryanangel do you have a photo of your crossmember trans mount.

I don't have any spacer in my driveshaft.So are you using the spacer to make up difference in driveshaft length after conversion? I put my rear on the other night and it looks like I need to lengthen about an inch.
Can you walk through the prep work, I am planning to monstaline my 80 but I am totally new to this. How did you mask off all of the windows?Made some progress today. I mounted up my cutting board tailgate. Had to source longer toggle bolts from BoltDepot.com, the originally supplied bolts were a 1/2 inch too short.
I also started sanding down the truck in preparation for monstaliner.

I probably should have spent more time on prep than I did, but its just a matter of removing as much stuff as you want to. I was replacing all my window trim and seals at the same time so I pulled them out and taped up everything i didn't want to get Monstaliner on. Pretty much the same process as taping a bedroom before painting.ugh the prep work, I am planning to monstaline my 80 but I am totally new to this. How did you mask off all of the
Thank you, Also what was the total cost of removing all the windows and replacing all the seals?I probably should have spent more time on prep than I did, but its just a matter of removing as much stuff as you want to.

Thank you!It's been about 4 years since I did it...but I think it was in the ballpark of $500 for all the seals and trim.
Pull the sunroof, its easy. I’d probably pay to have the windshield pulled and hatch glass. I taped mine and used a razor blade to trim tape but it came out kinda s***ty. Id pull the hood and fenders too. The belt moulding is about 300$ for the full set and the clips are easy to break but you should pull that too.Thank you!

Yeah definately, I would not have been happy if I figured that out in the middle of the desert. I picked up new grade 8 bolts and washers today from Bolt & Nut supply...plus spares just in case.Good catch on the tranny bolts.
I am using an 80 series pedal and master cylinder + NV3500 slave cylinder connected by a stainless braided line with (I think) 3AN ends plus adapters. Mine has been solid for 4 years running, and a lot of that running really hard!Fellas, long time lurker here but I have been assembling a cummins, nv4500, splitcase (with twin sticks) for the past year. I am close to putting it in my 80 and have been pondering the clutch pedal, master, and slave setup. I see it looks like some have used an 80 clutch pedal with dodge master/slave. Is the "all dodge" setup working ok or should I consider a different approach. Also are you happy with a dodge pedal also or does it require too much firewall modification. Thanks Fred
