I love it. great look right there.

Spring compressing helps. Driveshafts install last. Ratchet from crossmember or rear axle even.

Still seems a bit to close. Umm. If it works it works. Run it.

I hated it on mine. Made things to complicated.

Looks totally legit.

Fan control relays be helpful. I run two off them and my third fan is just wired straight to battery with Toggle switch inline to turn on or off as needed. I like to be able to kill the fans as I do tend to play in water.

Try taking the springs ba c k out then install your control arms and then put springs back in.

"3/8"-16 into the head, 3/8"-24 under the nut. There are good engineering reasons for doing so, but there's not enough strain to apply in this case. Replace with 3/8"-16 full length, and call it good. That's what I do when I have to replace a stud - usually cut a 2" or so length of 3/8"-16 brass rod and LocTite (#242) the thing in place Replace the nut with a 3/8"-16 UNC piece, and reuse the dished washer (it's important.)"

Looks like you had to dig it out.

Decent find.

That radiator still good for you? Rebuilding it or something...fins look rough..

Well whens the next wrenching session?

Yeah that bench seat looks mint.

Nothing particular. Just whatever i find interesting 😏
