Re: Good parts acquisition month for my '62 K10!

Not a great picture, but it shows the general shape of it.
This one is straight, though the pic makes it look like it's got a few bends.
Visible behind it is the Koenig winch and NP205 T-case!

What's interesting is the top bar on it, is at an angle--it's not square to the ground, it slopes.
More interesting is the bottom piece that bolts to the bumper: it's concave along the entire length, not flat.

In the foreground are a pair of nice wiper arms, and a NOS Vise Grip welding clamp I picked up at an antique shop for $10... it's made on the smaller Number 6-size plier, while the modern ones are on the larger Number 8. It doesn't have the third handle to help spring it apart/unlock it like modern ones do (1970s being "modern"), and it has Patent Applied For stamped in the jaw.
You can never have too man welding clamps, so I always try to grab nice ones when I find them for cheap. This one being a little smaller than the modern ones will be useful.
