Re: the 71 "break up" build
I believe they were bolted to the head in an accessory hole from the factory. If you want to hide it a little I would think one of the motor mount to block bolts would work.

If you run the neg batt lead to the engine mount do so to the engine side of the mount. And there should also be at least 1 if not 2 ground straps that connect from the rear valve cover bolt to the firewall.

Re: the 71 "break up" build
Yep, i am still enjoying this thread myself.
Back when i bought my truck i went to a national Truck Parts store, i asked the guy about a warn wench bumper, it was in the 90's and warn had stopped production on them, the store parts guy called and there was only 1 left in stock and it was i beleve $150, well i was thinking about how and where i was gonna carry my spare tire if i lost the front bumper tire carrier, so i ended up passing on it and have been kicking myself in the butt every since!

Re: the 71 "break up" build
I have heard that S-10 belts work, i just bought a brand new set of belts thru classic heartbeat a year or so ago, almost all the vendors that sell parts can get sholder belts. The only complaints i have with mine is i would like to have a plastic tube/sleeve holding the inner belt so it can be a 1 handed operation to buckle, the other is ya have to pull real slow or it latches on ya, but then again so does my dakota..

Re: the 71 "break up" build
Might need to grind the thickness of a boxed end wrench down a little to get it to fit?
I totally spaced on the wire checking, do you still need me to do that? Sorry!

Re: the 71 "break up" build
Usually these are easily repairable with just a kit that contains seals, washers, spring and a new ball socket.
