Hi Bill,
Fortunately I can only remember the good in the good old days. I do
remember the lard would separate into white modules if it wasn't hot
enough.

Re: Interesting question
 

That was the 'chopped ham and egg' which was in the breakfast or dinner
rations.

How much did you weigh after that 45 days? Those rations were 3000 calories
mostly from saturated fat. On the plus side you got 4 cigarettes you could
trade away.

That makes sense. I took a good look: other than a few spot welds and
those struts, there isn't much holding the grille away from the engine
fan. Torque it good or bump a tree (as you said), and things could get
ugly in the middle of BFE.

I left it as is. I figured they were there for a reason. I'm tempted
to have something more substantial fabricated and fitted instead, say,
5/8" black powder-coated chrome moly with decent welded supports for the
firewall side and a removable crossover. Would probably strengthen the
entire front end and look nice too. Good winter project.
