I am so relieved I could go out and burn a Ford......

Thanks Walde and others for saving my butt...... spent so much time cleaning it up I would hate to refer the case to a proctologist.

In particular.... the pictures are always worth a 1000 words well Walde in your case willmake that 1001..... I have forgotten to install the one inch steel bar brace on my truck..... thanks to your photo for reminding me..... I even know where it is sitting primed up on the shelf in the barn....... which Rob will attest is rather unusual for a person my age......

Now I will have to check the frame and fairlead plates for extra holes that may have been for the hooks.... which may have been removed as for all practical purposes as they would be seen as backwards and useless for towing......

Phil... in your Winter spare time.... any chance of doing some CAD sketches of the hooks and scotches or is it skotches so we can duplicate them....????

Thanks all....

Bob
