Nice work on those brackets!
It looks like you just repurpose the front of the rear leaf spring hangers to the rear of the rear?

Did the front bracket fit in the factory holes of the frame in the rear?
Let me know if the parking brake bracket gives you any trouble on the drivers side.
I am watching this mod. as I would like to lift the back of Poncho at least two inches and don't really love the idea of going from a OEM 3 inch block under there now, to the bigger OEM 6 inch block.

Just looked at the last post date hard to believe it’s been almost a year sense I’ve touched the truck. Now to figure out where I left off the plane is to make it run by the end of the week we’ll see how that goes

Finally got to hear the new engine running. The alternator isn’t charging will a bad crank sensor affect the alternator?

yes it it will the 92/93 pcm needs to see that the motor is running. But could also be the relay on the inner fender.

thanks for the information on the wireing I had a brain lapse and didn’t have the computer plugged in. that helped make allot of things work. it’s getting closer to be on the road I’m getting down to drive shafts. bumpers. intercooler. finish brakes. Things like that. I nead to find a fuel filter water separater without the sincer in the bottom every one I’ve had leaked I just want one with a screw on the bottom. Still have to get a good handle from oliver for the driver door need one for my other truck to. Nothing but time and money just haven’t had either lately
