The new front crossmember is now fabbed. The new cross member will locate the front springs, may provide mounting for a winch and is going to be tucked behind the bumper . 2 x 3 tubing 3/16 wall , four 1/2 inch grade 8 bolts each side. The neat part is that it bolts up to the existing holes and looks very stock.
next i attack the shackles and take a larger look at the steering box issue. I have looked at about a hundred vehicles so far. I did find a reverse rotation Chev box but the shaft was too long.
The July 1st holidays are happening up this way- most places are closed.
take care
Bruce
I will try to email some pictures soon.
