Made some more progress... All that is left now is to get some tube bent and attach a ram head!
Secured underneath the fender, it's just metal strap and a couple self-riveting screws
Cut out enough to allow for some rubber door molding to make it all purty like

Alright just about wrapped it up, snorkel head is in the mail and will be here by the end of the week!
Went to Bud's muffler to get some tube bent, would highly recommend them, friendly, fast, put up with me watching the hydraulic bender/expander machine and asking a bunch of questions... Not bad for $50, a little tall/long but I can work with that, he bent a 12* at the lower end to lay the tube against the A-Pillar and than a 48* or so bend to get it vertical.
Secured to the A-Pillar using two self riveting screws, some O-Rings against the body metal a piece of scrap flat stock and a hose clamp. (thanks for the idea gmack192)
Top of the frame is UP the A-Pillar, bottom is down towards the hood/front of vehicle
Top Bend, secured to A-Pillar, doesn't impact door, just looks that way in the picture.
As it sits now!
Oh ya, and a little of this while waiting on a front driveshaft so I can go play for real...
And thanks to Blizzard for the inspiration

A combination of a not flat floor and passenger side turned wheels is causing that... Truck sits nice and level, better than it was with the coils in the back had a pretty good tilt to the DS

Waiting on the snorkel head, which I ordered (safari ram type) and was supposed to be here today, but is now floating around somewhere in the postal service system... Thanks USPS! Sigh... but the mod is pretty much done I cut down the pipe some to make it sit a little lower is all... Will post pics whenever the head re-appears 
hope it helps someone down the road
