Love the one I got. The screws are kept on the plate and you pull out what you need. Solid and secure to the block.
Nothing wrong with chains, but there's no hunting bolts/washers and setting height of chain when using a block plate.
I would NOT use a plate that bolts where a carb is...
Good info. I always start up front and save the drive shaft/crossmember out for last as I know it's gonna leak fluid out the trans. At that point it's a "lets get it out quick" for less of a mess.
Washer fluid reservoir leaking again. I had to try this. The stock pump isn't strong enough to pull fluid with this setup.
I'll probably go with a 2 liter aluminum tank from Amazon for $30 and a different pump.
Then again, might just upgrade the pump and let it fly.
We have a guy that I found on Craigslist. He supplies the body shops as well as the DIY'selfer. You'd be surprised, check craigslist to see if you have someone in your area that does the same.
His prices are 5-10% higher than online (before shipping) and he delivers free to our local Hardee's...
What make/model pump are dependable these days? I put in the ACDelco EP381 and they want $160+ for it now.

I was really close to buying one, but I reminded myself that the issue I had with mine coming loose was because the previous owner didn't install the stock replacement correctly. So I, not knowing any better, installed it the same way. Same issue. After I looked at it and figured out the...
if you got a pick n pull yard close to you, check their website for the correct models. If you see multiple, grab them all and share the wealth and sell or trade here. After the 2nd one, you'll have them out in about 7 minutes per shaft if not less.
you got me thinking about the floor bolts. Maybe just weld some thicker nuts to the front four and have a plate with the winch already mounted to it. Like you said, have to deal with the nuts sticking up.
Or even 4 nutserts on the lower ribs of the bed. Leave the bolts in when not in use...
If your using a non-plastic tank radiator, and have a radiator shop close enough, they can install a fitting just below the cap for the steam vent line. If your good at sweating, you could prolly do it yourself.
