Truck looks great!

Can I make a suggestion?  If you haven't already, weld a cross-brace between the two sides of your upper shackles (see arrow) for the shackle to rest against the frame.

IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Good point I was thinking that, it wounld make them stronger and the shackle would sit level.As you can see the frame was replated on 4 sides all the way to the front motor mounts due to the rust from the salt used on the roads in winter. Canadian winters you gotta love it!

Build looks good.
My personal opinion would be to move the fuel tank to the rear area behind the rear axle. Also would have installed it a bit lower than it sits now. With more weight in the rear you will have better traction and flex especially with the chevy springs.
Also should install a rear upper traction bar from my experience with 63" chevy's they had a bit of axle wrap.
