1991 v3500 - big dumb lifted forever truck

[obijuank5]

I forgot this truck had hooks on it. Either I have never had another truck with oem hooks or just never noticed.

You took the riveted braces out?

 

[obijuank5]

Yeah so the frame side winch mount plates sit flush inside the rails.

The winch mount is bigger better replacement

I tell ya hwut that was a two step pain in the nuts to get this going. I hate bumper work anyways.

I had a nice little extra bracket for whatever reason. Had to take the burr and open up the holes in the frame brackets a bit. Then at some point in time the left front hit something and dimpled the frame a little where the angled outer bumper braces bolt on. Made lining up everything a dream. But after that it went well.

Got the bumper cut for the hawse fairlead and prepped for a repaint. It's just too windy. I'll get that on after while.
Riveted brace I had.

[obijuank5]

The 70 is in here alive and well but the lomax is for the blazer. That frame is still broke.

 

[nvrenuf]

If you need me to hold that Lomax, holla. I’m here for you.

you need a Blazer frame?

 

[obijuank5]

Nah, it's totally repairable. Thank you though. I just needs a bunch of time to do and redo a bunch of things.

Man I have been off this site for like a year, and you basically did everything I wanted to do but ran out of money to do 10years ago... now that its broke I should prob go back and update my truck! I will search through the thread but few things

How did you get a tach to work properly?
What bracket is that for the AC up top?

Loving the whole set up.

 

[obijuank5]

Well good news, it made me run out of money many times too!

This tach is a 5k v8 that that uses the isspro that pickup kit and two extra magnets. So it's got four pulses per revolution.

The brackets are from the f700 12 valves. Well, its a mix of parts but mostly f700.

Silly question, did you really buy the 45 dollar kit for the 2 little extra magnets? Looks simple enough just seems wild to pay that much for 2 lil rare earth magnets.
