I'm over the original estimate, of course, but not by too much so I'm calling that an accomplishment
More tinkering tonight. Spent some time searching the Dayco hose catalog, found radiator hoses to fit. The lower I haven't put on yet (need to order a new water neck that points downward), but did the upper.
It's about 60% of the upper hose for an '84 Cadillac Deville Diesel ... guess the Olds diesel was good for something after all! The lower hose is the upper off an '03 Dodge Ram.
Gas tank skid plate/cradle and straps came today:
I've got a good plan as to how I'm going to mount it now, I'll work on making the requisite bracketry tomorrow.
