I also looked things over some, made another attempt at getting the fan shroud to play better with the vortec fan, and spent some time BS'ing with @azblazer
Re-routed the air line to the front different again, still not quite happy with it.

Just cut it

Just cut it

Do you need a snickers?

 

[Bent77]

It worked when I sold it to you, quit fixin it

 

[Bent77]

I expect this out of you Dave

 

[6872xtc]

So I got rid of some bailing wire....
Didn't even use zip ties!

 

[6872xtc]

My son thought this was kinda cool when he came home...

 

[Bent77]

You expect the aluminum to holdup?
Cutting the bottom out for the winch wasn't my best idea

 

[6872xtc]

And here's one for @skunked
Just part of the sidewall....

 

[6872xtc]

I have a thought for bracing the lower part of the shell, next to the winch. It's hard on the wires for the turn signals. Broke one last year.

 

[Bent77]

Brace it to the side of the winch plates?

 

[6872xtc]

Yeah, welding a tab on ....but I don't know if I should screw the aluminum to it. If I do, not tight...
I should probably make a brace of of the radiator support.

 

[Bent77]

Use a piece of soft rubber between the tab and aluminum to absorb the vibration

 

[6872xtc]

Done, sort of.... I had a piece of aluminum strap. Made it screw to the bottom of it to the radiator support. Left side is good, right side is broken by the headlight, needs more work.

 

[Bent77]

What, it's broke?

 

[6872xtc]

Hard to believe.... I know!

 

[skunked]

Have to be generous with the tire shine

 

[Bent77]

Your power steering hose is an '80 and up o ring type

 

[6872xtc]

Thanks! I think that maybe we talked about that the other night, but my memory may be slow....

 

[Bent77]

Mine too, so I'm just posting what goes through my brain so I don't forget

 

[Bent77]

I'm thinking AC in the 72, and run the front hangers 4" forward. Run 24/28 springs or move the axle forward 2"
