Drop Crossmember for swb only? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Crazy Rusty · 03-04-2016, 04:40 PM

Was ready to pull the trigger on one but then I read the details and every one I find says 'designed for short wheel base trucks'. Anyone put these in a longbed 2-piece?

crossmember

Thanks!

I bought the one from POL, it has adjust-ability at the trailing arm mounts.

But I "think" the long bed unit may have a drive-shaft bearing mount?

I like this one

Mine looks like this. The new one has he bolt holes for the carrier bearing... Can't figure it why it would matter if it's a long bed and maybe it really doesn't since multiple sites don't say that.

Porterbuilt has a trailing arm crossmember for a two piece driveshaft.

It doesn't have any details though.
