Hey Guys a few weeks ago We sent out our 67-72 Bolt in crossmember to our good Ol' friend Lou Santiago for an install he was doing, and he confirmed what we suspected, it fit like a glove! A few minor changes of hole locations a template was made and we are now offering 73-87 Bolt in Crossmember coil over or air bag!!!! :metal:

Looks nice! Does your new crossmember lower a truck more than a set of spindles and air bags would on a stock setup? Whats the price?

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

Yes it does lower the truck more than set of spindals and airbags on a stock
setup.

It also gives you more ground clearence as well.

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

it looks like your setup doesnt require the notch for the rack.Is that the case?

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

No rack notches needed no welding needed this is a true meaning when you
say 100% bolt in as you can see we also use outer tierod ends not himes

Will this bolt to the 89 R3500 one ton crew cab frame? (old body style)

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

We do not offer it in a bolt in but we can do a weld in with 1 ton spindles, calipers etc.. if you are interested shoot me a PM or E-mail jonm@scottshotrods.com or justin@scottshotrods.com

Thanks,
Jon

Will it handle c4 control arms & spindles? Thanks & God Bless, Terry


EDIT: OK I looked a little closer and I think I answered my own question... Doesn't look like it will but please let me know otherwise.

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

I really like this setup. I'll be buying something like this as soon as my wallet recovers from the current chassis/powertrain build....I had to settle for less this round....for now....

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

We can get you anywhere between 3 - 6 inches it all depends how you wanted when you order thru Scotts.We can set it up anyway you want
for no extra CHARGE.

Ok, I installed the front end that I got from Scott's Hotrod before SEMA and I have video of the install. I'll get to that later. The victum this 82 Suburban that I scored for $400 bucks. Now I know its not pretty but thats cool by me. Now to this point Scott's hasn't installed one of these frontends on a Square body so follow along.

We pull off the nose so it would be easier to shoot video. The engine was a 350 in need of a rebuild. With a turbo 350 behind it.The orginal 700r4 was long gone.

The frame has some damage that will get fixed

The crossmember fit right in like it is supossed to. Here is were I have to sell the job Every front end that Scotts' Hotrods build is tig welded. The crossmember is .25 2x4 box tube. The rod ends are machined out of Stainless Steel

The spindles are new Mustang II style. I got the drop spindles with 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

Some of you guys are wondering why I would get the coil over front end. Well it is simple I have 4 Burbans. One will remain stock the second will get spindles and springs with a flip kit. The third has the coil over front end with a 4-bar. Number 4 gets bags front cross member and bags. Stock floor body drop. So now you know the plan

One thing I will say I like that Mustang II style spindle are used on the front end. These are new dropped spindles. There are plenty of big brake packages for them. I got the 5 on 5 lug pattern.

I'll get some more pictures up in the next day or two.

Thanks for sharing Lou.

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

Yeah! that looks like the setup I want :metal:

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

Looks good, do you have pics of the burb put back together how does it sit with wheels?

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

Do engine mounts come pre welded in. Or is that up to the installer?

Re: Scott's 73-87 Bolt in crossmember Confirmed!!!
 

We do offer motor mounts with the kit for $150.00 a pair and if you order motor mounts with kit they will be welded in place for FREE and this wll be
a bolt in unit 100% with no welding at all.
