Re: Doing it for the kid! 71K20 4X4
SCORE! After months of searching, from coast to coast, I found these hooks from a kid less than 20 miles away and he let em go for 200$. I think that used up all of my luck for the rest of my life. Just one more part of the puzzle!

Re: Doing it for the kid! 71K20 4X4
A few more parts installed.

1.Finally got the tank installed along with new fuel line.
2. Routed and welded up exhaust.
3. Body is still at body shop, she is ready for paint but of course we chose a paint that is both expensive and not in stock.
4. Purchased 4in lift but did not get installed, no excuses, just lazy!

Thanks for stopping by. Happy new year to all!

Thanks, We, my company, rent part of our warehouse to a welding outfit, so I hijacked the design and measurements from this board and had them weld me one up.
