You'll need to get the brackets for the HD (i.e. with A/C) radiator - which sits up about 2 inches higher. Instead of dipping down from the top of the radiator support frame - like the standard brackets do, these extend straight out. Here is one - it's pointing backwards (just my method when a radiator is pulled out):

The part numbers for the HD style brackets are 14018579/14018580. They are not too hard to find - and fairly cheap. For example, White Racing has the LH one in stock for $11.10:

Discontinued Spares has the RH one for $12.34

But I'm sure a you could find a set a your local JY in a few minutes - and pay about $5 for both.

What is that ? hooked up between your power steering gear box and power steering pump ?

Ah ha, that's the pump and control box for an old school Fisher Speedcaster set up. It does look like it's plumbed into the steering/hydroboost system, but it's just stuffed aside to be out of the way. I push the snow around with a 9' Fisher plow - complete with a full foil on top.

With that setup, I look like a pro - but I plow like a drunken old lady. But it doesn't matter; with that 1 ton pushing a 9 foot blade, you don't really have to be good. Once it starts rolling, it pretty much plows by itself.

Ahhh! Gotcha.
