Thanks. I called them today and got it ordered. Now I just have to exchange the frictions for the 6 gear planetary set, wait on Sonnax strut, and finsish valve body, and hopefully get the cooler tomorrow - and hopefully slap it in this weekend. Can't wait to get this running - picked up truck in this condition and looking forward to getting other work started like steering gearbox rebuild and kegger mod. Wife thinks I have become addicted to working on the Ram......

And she may not be too far off there......
Rebuilding the steering box might be a waste of time though. The gears tend to wear, and you just can't get rid of the slop. Try doing the off-the-truck adjustments first, and see how it feels. If it's still sloppy, just replace it. (procedure is in the service manual.)

Ordered the Rock Solid Steering kit, but the gearbox is leaking. Price of new box is high. I may have to replace it as well.
My other truck is a 96 Toyota with 265000 on the clock. Nothing ever needs work on it. Gotta figure when I'm going to do the Jag - but wife actually WANTS me to do that one (so she can drive it!)

Extra parts?
Well, it has been a while since I started this task, and oldtimers is kicking in. I am ready to install the clutch and input shaft. I know the washer on the right goes between the input and intermediate shafts. I cannot remember where the washer on the left goes. It measures 1.309" and is 0.60" thick. Do these go together between the input and the intermediate shafts or did I leave it out and have to tear back down?
(I really need to figure out the "insert image" thing)
Thanks.
