I was just after "pretty" pictures as I told Keith, and I did not even notice the backwards bracket.
Looking now it is obvious, and yes I think that truck had a transplanted 251 in it, so the radiator was most likely moved forward.
The problem I had is I needed images that showed the winch, and I wanted the pictures to be uncluttered, with the original bumpers. Many of the trucks I checked had different bumpers, lots of stuff welded to the front end (Gee, how SHOCKING! :-) ), etc. When I spotted this one it looked nice, and I did not check closely for that kind of detail.
Not that I know about this problem I will try and get more accurate pictures, as I would hate for someone to use those images as a referece for putting theirs back together.
Not having "pretty" truck on hand though, it might take me a while.
Anyone have a 230 truck that has a good looking original winch that they can take the same basic images of? I would be grateful, and I am sure someone building their truck from a pile of parts they took apart 10 years ago would also be grateful!
Sorry about this!
