there is no svelte attractive stock bracketry that doesn't look like it was designed in 50s soviet era. If you want nice bracketry, you'll have to take your time and plan it out and how much you want to spend for aftermarket brackets. Aftermarket brackets for any brand from late 60s on are going to be big, funky, clunky and unattractive.

Trying to get mine running today after sitting for 9 years, just got it a month ago, so collecting parts to just hear it run before i throw any money at it.
Go to the "What have you done to your truck,today?" thread, and keep us updated on your progress. (please)

On my 351W, since I had no smog pump, I just cut the smog pump ears off, repainted and reinstalled. Not beautiful but better than before
