The block heater cord. It's not dragging just hanging low. Want to make a nice mount gate toeing it up and it hanging out the bumper

Been gone for a long time. Starting to get back on it. Really need a truck in my life. Missing out on money making opportunities and good deals.
Since my last post I switched out my wheels from the 88 I had. Looking back i kinda like the old black ones better but I'm thinking that's becuase the tire it had on it. Mickey Thompson M/T 315/60 I think. They were wide. Now it has bullet/alcoa style on skinnier 285s. I have since fixed all of the leaks. Had small trans line leak and coolant

I started working on my 08 bumper again. I stripped it down a couple of years ago to fix some dents. Lost ambition never primed it and it surface rusted bad. Knocked it all down and primed it. Picked up a bumper off a brick nose that's pretty straight. Driver side mount is tweaked but bumper shell is straight. Sanded that down tonight but ran out of primer. I started it up before I left work yesterday to charge batteries and left it running all night
One the to-do list
-Get it Legal
-Fasten down the front inner wheel wheels
-Exhaust(temporarily till dimond eye sends me dp to test)
-Replace the cablights I broke with my hood
-Bolt bed down but wanting to diagnose fuel sending unit first
- install my frame mounted fuel system( water sep/filter/Holley blue/regulator/check valve/new viton injector orings)

Got some work done today after work. Got the inner fenders fastened down. Rear filler next installed. Tank works good. Gauge works. Driver side negative battery cable insyalled and added body ground. Just need to get some new bed bolts. On a side note anyone know what thread pitch the studs are for the motor mounts. Mine are apparently mia.

From my experience:
Your snail is fine it can't be moved and still fit the turbo. When it's fitted right that box will hit your #2 injector line, and I had to bend mine more than I wanted to to make that work. But it all worked out fine. I moved to a charge air cooled setup and BHAF so it's all moot now but that's what I did. Bolt your top to the base and you should see it hits the injector line when the boot is on the turbo. I've never seen what that line looks like for the turbo engines but for my 89 it was definitely in the way.
