A little clean up on the Explorer p/s/AC bracket if you're not running AC

[toddz69]

In case you're not running the AC compressor as part of your Explorer front dress conversion and know you never will, you might consider doing what I did with my bracket years ago - trimming off the part of the casting that holds the A/C compressor. I trimmed it off using a bandsaw and then ground/belt sanded it down so it was flush and looked good. This gives you better access to the oil filter, oil pressure sending unit and any other items that might be located in that area. Additionally, it just looks better without that unused chunk of aluminum hanging off it. Full credit to @u10072 that did mine originally years ago.

Nice modification.

As an aside- do you really have 380k on the odometer?

Yes. Well, actually a little more now. I turned over 382K in my travels last week. The truck had 132K on it already when Dad bought it in '81.

Very Clean Mod Todd.
After my last install of AC on Dirtdonk's 68 EB, I am doubtful I would do it again. A lot of work for cold air on the knees and mediocre heat in comparison to the factory heater box with Che*y upgrade.
