    Getting ready to assemble the front clip on my wagon. I am a one man operation with help of wife in dire emergency. What would be the best approach to do this and save the marriage. I took the front clip off all intact.

    That's exactly what I did on my '71 pickup. I ran a towing strap under the fender wells and attached it to the engine hoist, maneuvered it around and set it in gently.

    I like the engine hoist idea. It's amazing what a little bit of leverage can do to assist in a situation like this.
