After having this particular project sidelined for a couple years because of a bunch of other projects ...oh, and a global pandemic... I'm finally ready to go! I ordered the Amp Research 75122-01A configuration for a few reasons:

- Brackets shouldn't require machining since they seem to mount horizontally
- Uses default ground-switching to trigger instead of OBDII
- Default step width is pretty close to the rocker-length on a '72 K5
- I thought the rounded step profile better matched the K5 than the sharper flat/edgy profile

I think I'm going to take a similar approach to the person earlier in this thread who made a plate/angle bracket, but we'll see. Should I document the process in this thread, or a new one?
