I am going to try to open up the starter hole and hopefully it all works out for that.
Anyway been picking at other things here and there.
Eliminated the NSS system by taking a wire of similar color salvaged from a pigtail and putting another end on it and just looping it back.
Picked up a 5" piece of 3" 3/16" angle iron, used a hole saw to cut a 1-1/4" hole it for the bushing. I roughly bolted it to the t-case to test fit it, works perfectly.
Scratched where the angle iron is on the other side:
Used my new drill to punch out two holes in the frame. Started out smaller, pushed the angle iron up against the holes and tickled the angle iron with the drill bit to mark where I needed to drill holes in them. I used the angle iron to shield the wiring and fuel line.
I pulled it out and drilled holes in the angle iron with it in my vice. Threw some black paint on it for good luck.
I need to pick up bolts for it, my bolt that goes thru the mount isn't quite long enough either. With those the powertrain is physically mounted in the truck. Just gotta get the starter ironed out and get a rear driveshaft figgered out.
Kinda tempted to do cab mount bushings and the floor pan before putting the interior back in it and going on to the front axle...
