Rear cross member is finally finished. I must have gone through two dozen iterations of installing and removing this thing!




I'll clean and paint it at some point My Dad wants a trailer hitch on the truck, so that forward most bolt through the lower flange is going to be the rear bolt for the hitch, I will re-drill to accommodate the larger hardware when I get that far.

I spent some time today thinking about how I'm going to go about refitting my front clip - I decided I'm going to use the inner fenders as my starting point (since I'm replacing my originals, which are rusty, anyway) and then install the fenders, so I can "drop in" the core support and see how much trimming I'm going to have to do. There's going to be a little interference on the steering box, but not enough (I don't think) to require tipping the radiator forward. Though for fan clearance I may want to do that anyway.
