Be sure to keep all your design files, you never know when they’ll come in handy one day. That much at least is your intellectual work and could useful or valuable to someone wanting to follow in your steps or to you when at some point in the future you have access to better materials.
I don't think I'd cut it. That weld is there to keep the shackle from being hammered by your rear axle as you drive down a washboard road. This is the set I got for my rears a couple years ago. Even has the rear, rear spring busing as well...
In the recent posts today @Scotty4 posted this CL ad for a truck with similar seats but blue.

I don’t know if those seats came from ford in the early 80s, but it was common back then for dealers to take on all kinds of upgrades and add on features both on a per customer basis as well as creating their own limited editions. There used to be many aftermarket suppliers of custom seats and...
Wes is probably going to recommend, and most will agree, ceramic coating for all the hot side components. There's several good header wraps on the market as well but the odd shapes make it difficult to turn out good product in my experience. You can get generic blankets for the turbine scroll...

Maybe if there was some problem with the servo and someone was working on the system it and then gave up?
If there is a servo problem, most of the late ‘90s ‘80s and early ‘90 ford trucks and maybe cars used the same servo. They just had different throttle cables attached. If your cable is...
Notice the link that attaches to the tab on the DP and connects to the manifold stud. That is what holds the DP in place, not the slip connection. The slip connection should be exactly that a slip into place arrangement. You will have to create the tab and link arrangement to hold it there if...
The obs powerstroke also has the turbo mounted in the center of the valley and it’s also not wastegated. The difference is the DP in the PS comes all the way up the back of the engine to meet the turbo at the top.
The 088 has that long casting that hangs down the back and a slip joint...
