That may be, but this is the way I went with it after weighing the options. How could I use the 149 hydro ram? It's a much longer stroke than the 1641. Even if I drill new holes to mount the bracket, I don't see it working with the rock shaft. I would have to swap all that over too. The grill shell is about 2" smaller than the frame of the 1641 so I would need a mounting plate to bolt to the original holes and sit the grill shell on that to bolt tight.
Like I said, I can always try going with the 1641 frame again. But after looking things over I thought it would be easier to do with the 149 frame in the end.
