Cpp Trans crossmember install
 
I'm trying to install my cpp Trans crossmember and it won't fit between the frame rails. Any of you guys have a problem with this? This is on my 67 c10

How bad of a "won't fit" is it?

I didn't buy CPP, but when I replaced my trans and trailing arm cross members, I had to help convince the frame to accept the new pieces. But mine were just about 1/8" off. I had to push part of the frame open and also squeeze part of the frame together.

You can always grind a bit of the mounting flange on each side if it's not bad. I know some people are fitting those with no issues so unless they changed the width the fitment issue is exclusive to your truck.

Just got mine in this week. It took some persuasion from a block of wood and sledge hammer, but it fit.

I'm sure I can get it in with some persuasion. Just wanted to make sure before I go hammering something into place. Thanks guys!

Ok, I feel like a real dope lol. I was putting it in backwards. It slid right in when I was doing it right!
