Jerry,
No worries, I am very new to this, not to say I have no mechanical skills as I have overhauled several automotive and tractor engines. I changed the front axle to a 3" drop from Sid, and added disc brakes. Tore all the old suspension and hangers off the 3/4 ton rearend, fabricated and installed new leaf spring hangers, super sliders and an S-10 rearend. Never have been a machinist, though.
When I first noticed the double groove HB forums on here and saw your post about you maybe going to have them available, or at least the plans, I couldn't wait to talk to you! Here was someone I admired for figuring out what so many of us were looking for, at a reasonable price. When I tried to click on those links from a great time ago, they didn't come up.
I am the kind of guy who needs to have a visual image to comprehend something that is new to me. It takes more than words or a short description for me to grasp the idea that seems so obvious to the person who is trying to make it understood, when they have probably done it practically in their sleep. I can appreciate your efforts.
So for me to realize that I don't have the tools and know how to do this part of the build, it will be easier and much more time saving to get all the things that I want to get to the end result of having A/C, P/S, alternator and water pump, all at one place rather than trying to fab them myself. Kinda wanna get this thing on the road before I am too old to really enjoy it.
You call yourself an "old coot" but you probably don't have many years on me, if any...I'm 63.
Wes
