ERASER5,

I would recommend just going to the bone yard and buying one. The U-bolt plate is the same on every ’73 – ’87 ½ ton and ¾ ton I have ever seen. I would think it is a very common part to come by even in the salt belt that wouldn’t be worth the hassle of fabricating.

John,

All is well just been busy fixing broken stuff and staring a new EFI project in a ’72 beater truck. I saw a few of your threads a while back. Your heard of trucks are looking nice! I really like that front bumper and headache rack on your ’72.
