The part being on a 1969 is an easy out for me. All of the trucks I have experience with are November 1967 units.
Here are the hardware parts with the exception of the locknut for the 1/2in bolt that I still have to get. Sorry about the dirty rag for a background, my box-o-rags went dry. Also, I have a flat washer about mid way on the 3/8ths bolt that I think I will change to a lock washer because I think that's what is on Jeepdan's setup. And it makes more sense.
The studs are for attaching the torque arm to the transmission.
When I get the insulators/bushings we will see if everything goes together. :hammer:
Thanks everyone!
The 3/8ths bolt has to be at least 4.5 inches long. The 4 inch bolt I tried at first didn't stick up through the exhaust bracket at all. I used a 5 inch bolt and left 1/2 inch stick out above the top nut. Looks like it should be just right.
I cut the bushings out of a strip of chemical and weather resistant rubber that I found at Grainger. It wasn't as much fun as I hoped it would be. I have enough left over to share if anyone else would like to try to make some bushings, too. :) I'm not sure how long these will last. Time will tell.
The sleeve that is between the 1/2 inch bolt and the bushings I cut the length down to 1.25 inches. It seemed to be interfering with tightening the bolt at its store bought length. (1.5 inch, maybe?)
