There is one item you will need to find or fabricate.
It is a stamped metal hand crank bracket which attaches to the bumper by the center bumper bolt.
It has a hole in it for the hand crank to pass through. It is designed to prevent one from destroying the grill if one were to lose control of the hand crank when it is force out of the damper and found its way back in again once the engine starts.
Denny Graham has diagrams to go off of to fabricate one of these brackets.
