So after a month or two of side projects, back to the 53. Welded up the front sway bar first, then pulled the 5.3 out of storage. Need a way to hang it while I figure out my firewall cut, so made a block plate out of 1/4×6 plate with 3/8 eye bolts (good for 1000lbs each on a straight pull) to get started there. Mocked up the bed sides in final position also to build mounts for it.

Moving along - thanks for looking-
