Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Your top bolt looks like the hole has been modified some on the frame. The mounting holes look correct through. Are there any casting #'s on the box?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Replaced the radiator, water pump, heater core, and installed a clutch fan. The water pump had a bad bearing, so the old one went back in and returned the new one for a refund because I've spent more money on anti-freeze than the water pump. The old water pump wasn't bad, just figured it made sense to replace the original while everything was apart ... so much for that.
The best part, after 3 months of being off the road for all kinds of fixes and upgrades, my daily driver is again my daily driver. Some of this included replaceing the trailing arms; complete rebuild of all brakes; had the rockers, cab supports and other misc. pieces of metal welded in; painted the rockers, steering wheel, and kick panels; replaced the carpet with vinyl mat; swapped out the POS turn signals for a Wells unit and more. The "TO DO" list is way shorter than the completed list and I'm on the road with the windows down, finally enjoying my summer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
How bad does it hit....can you trim the corner of the outer bumper bracket to clear?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Had a chance a while back to buy a set off a fella on the west side of Puget Sound a while ago for my c20. They were rough but good shape. He wasn't home when I got there. And all 4 for 20 bucks! He's long since scrapped the truck but I wished I could've gotten them sooner. I'm still kicking my a $$ to this day over that......

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I finall found some nuts that fit the brake lines to hold them to the frame, put the wheels on, moved it over in the driveway (fun with no brakes), tightened up the LCA shaft ends, tightened up the bumper brackets. Tomorrow MC/booster install and start on the brake lines.
