cross member swap questions
Hey guys, started working on my 68 and one of the things Im doing is swapping the front suspension and doing a disc brake upgrade. I have donor parts from a low mileage 85 c10. I was wondering if there is anything special about swapping out the cross member. Will my mounts remain in the same place? And will it bolt in to the same holes or will I need to drill?
Thanks in advance.

Re: cross member swap questions
Lots of people have done this successfully there is one bolt hole that has to be opened up but it will be very clear the one you need when you get there. Jim

Cool, thanks. Maybe we need a common upgrade sticky with links to all the threads with these upgrades.
