Yep. Fit right up onto older racks. They (CBI/Prinsu) will even send new brackets to existing rack owners under warranty.

Not for an 80-series but it is an 80-series engine. 1HDFT goodness! 
Cheers

Installed some goodies from Jaos 
Cold but still ok weather in West Texas
@LockedCollector great looking 80, along the same lines as mine but yours is prettier 
Our 80 continues to meet or exceed expectations after about 80k of miles with me driving and over 300k total miles. It just added a few k more miles while pulling the camper from E TN to Key West and back without complaint. FL is pretty ideal for towing with an 80, barely a hill once you drop off the fall line in GA

Nice! The PUP is the reason I re-geared to 4.88s after running 295s. Made a big difference.
My solution so far has been to stick with 285s but even with 285s I think the 80 would perform more to my liking (towing or not) with gears that result in more engine rpm for a given speed. Something will make noise one day and give me the excuse to try a different ratio...
What size aux lights are those on the front bumper? I’ve been thinking about adding some too, stock headlights suck. Thanks
Finally put in one of the new Webasto ThermoTop Evos.
Oh ok thanks. How did you install them? Look like they’re bolted to the bumper.
They are. Small little bracket with two small bolts per light.
Ok thanks man. Going to order me pair.
Random question someone may know the answer to. I'm debating fabbing a plate to rotate my MAF 180* from stock. With the WE turbo kit the plug ends up sandwiched between the two air pipes, and caused my wires to break their shielding.
I'm curious if rotating it will have a negative effect. The center location wouldnt be different, but would be essentially, upside down.

I relocated my MAF to a whole new location with my DIY turbo kit and had no adverse effects. I moved it about a foot forward and towards the passenger side and turned it upside down to make a straighter shot for the wires. Obviously I had to extend the wires to make this location work, but the MAF itself functioned normally.
Adam, your truck is awesome! Are the blinker/backup lights in those taillights also LED? And if so, mind sending a link to where you got them? ThxWas able to sneak into the garage for an hour on Saturday and replaced the gutter mounts on my Prinsu rack with the updated brackets. I never had an issue with the original brackets but this new design is definitely MUCH better.
I also swapped out my taillights for some cheapo LED ones. I wrapped up my OEM taillights and put them on the shelf since they're in good shape. I won't feel bad if I smack these cheap ones on the trail.
Now back to the big headache that's inside the garage hiding behind the 80. I'm gonna need to enlist some MUD help to get that thing finished up.

Press tool kits are about ready to add to website and ship.
Case hardened and I have a few spare trays.

After a couple of trips up the Vic High Country camping (1 x 3 night and 1 x 4 night). Was planning on a night here a night there but found some really nice spots so just settled in at those and weather perfect and just a handful of people about who were all great. Rivers crystal clear and great for swimming
I changed the Engine Oil & Filter, new spark plugs, cleaned the Air filter and flushed all the brake fluid for new
Everything else checks out good however may drain & refill the transmission fluid as well.
Wish I was still up there camping but back to work Monday
Next trip in a few weeks
