IN Front Frame Reinforcement Brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Todd68Chevy** · 03-31-2018, 04:43 PM

I have a pair of frame reinforcement brackets that I removed from a 1972 C30 Long Horn that had a 402 big block in it. I am not sure what all trucks used them or if it was only the big block long horn trucks. I have not seen them on other trucks that I have dealt with. They bolt in with the front suspension cross member bolts on the inside of the frame. $30 for the pair plus shipping or can be picked up in Shelburn IN. I accept PayPal or money orders at no extra charge. Post to the tread as per rules.

I thought these might be correct for a K series, apparently not so I’ll pass.

Nic, these front frame to x-member (control arm style) braces were only used/found on the 2wd 72 C/20-30 trucks, they are not a 4wd K series item. Mel

Better to find out now instead of after getting them

Thanks for the information. I have not seen them on other trucks so I thought they might be long horn only but was not sure so I appreciate the information. Thanks

No problem, to maybe help your sale along here are a few of our older saved file pics showing where/how they are mounted on the inner sides of the forward frame rails, there is one inner brace and one lower flat plate per LH/RH side. Mel

Sorry, I missed this response before. Thanks for this information. I had the plates underneath also but did not realize they went with the other parts so they left with the front cross member when I sold it. Thanks again for the information.
