Here are the new front shackles installed
We also torched the 86 body mounts to make room for some new ones soon
And thanks to craigslist we picked up a few 24 AN hose/fitting pieces that we wanted to make work for the radiator, my Dad welded a fitting to the thermostat housing and we will do the same on a radiator later.
My dad managed to find a 61 gmc 4x4 that had been hit in the back but all the 4x4 stuff was in good condition so we ended up buying it and pulled the hood, grille, and grill support wings. All of which is in great condition
I just had to hook the lights up to a battery, all 4 work...even the blinkers
The wings turned out to be in better shape than the ones we had, so with nothing to lose we added a few holes to the old ones. :smokin:
We also popped a hole in the hood latch
