To clarify what you just did to close in the pass thru was done only with a flanger correct? you mention a bead roller which i don't have and never used, don't even know if you can flange with a bead roller at this point LOL! |
You don't miss a thing! Around here all the used t-shirts/bedding/bath towels go out to the garage to die.
Yes just used a HF pneumatic flanging tool (turn down air pressure or the tool doesn't live). Here is a link that will help explain the bead roller technique a little.

Either way, I found I had to flip the hangars side to side (Left one on the Right) to get them in the right place for the core support and the wheels to be centered under the front clip

I was given a set of front hangers and motor cross member from a 73 only (according to some GM parts book research) and those are what are pictured. Yes, the secondary braces are there and this stuff is a little different and not as heavy duty as the K3500 stuff.
Discovered what you are saying when we mocked up the 72 sheet metal on the 84 frame. To get the core support back far enough with the long springs we would have needed to do that swap even on the newer frame to make everything workout.
