You'll need to shorten the drive shaft. Get a new yoke. If you have an ebrake cross member, then you might need to remove it and convert to a 1966 and up C10 version or just move the ebrake cross member to beneath the lower flange of the frame. Obviously you'll need to cut a hole in the floor for the shifter.
