WTB auto cross member for a 1 ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

woodridge · 01-29-2007, 07:30 PM

It just dawned on me today as I was preparing to pull the cab and front end off the ton that I don't have a cross member, anybody have one?

**uncle** · 01-29-2007, 07:51 PM

I'm pretty sure all you need are some spacers.

sixtysevengmc · 01-29-2007, 08:37 PM

I've got a auto crossmember for a 1/2 ton,don't know if it would work on a 1 ton though

I'm not far from you

woodridge · 01-29-2007, 09:38 PM

Uncle, is the spacer thing factory? I had thought about using spacers but didn't know. Sixtyseven I will keep that in mind.

**uncle** · 01-29-2007, 09:41 PM

I'm pretty sure it is. All longhorns have them also. I saw 1 on ebay a week or so ago. You might try a search on completed listings for spacer.

woodridge · 01-29-2007, 10:45 PM

Will do, thanks.

HuggerCST · 01-29-2007, 11:00 PM

I've got one from a 3/4 ton that's yours if you want it David, just let me know.

Longhorn Man · 01-30-2007, 01:05 AM

the cross member is the same 1/2 ton through one ton... but one ton trucks and longhorns, need a spacer. I have a set here somewhere, sandblasted and painted.

Thanks Andy, that's what I was thinking, but I didn't want to post without being sure.

Americanrider · 01-30-2007, 02:56 PM

$40 + shipping. Pulled from 71 C-30 Custom Camper, has spacers on it already. I can clean before shipping it.

edit: that thing hanging on the bottom is a home-made heat shield, I'll pull it off.

woodridge · 01-30-2007, 02:55 PM

Andy, can you get a pic of the spacers and dimensions?
Hugger, Thanks I will let you know.

woodridge · 01-30-2007, 11:36 PM

Americanrider, that is tempting but I think freight might be too much. I have a lead on a cross member here local, now just need the spacers or specs to make them. I know I opened the door for this and before somone says it the spacer would be the difference between the height of the two frame. I'm more interested in what they look like so the ones I make will look correct.

Americanrider · 01-31-2007, 02:13 AM

I'll take a pic and measure it for ya.

woodridge · 01-31-2007, 02:38 PM

Thanks! Can you put a ruler in the pic for referance?

**67sss** · 01-31-2007, 04:09 PM

here are the spacers you need. get em from Andy or whoever responded first. this is just a pic for you.

woodridge · 01-31-2007, 05:21 PM

I now have a crossmember but after seeing 67sss's pic I think I would rather buy than make so I am still needing the spacers. Andy, since you were first, are yours for sale? Americanrider? 67sss? I'm not particular from whom, just want to be fair.

Americanrider · 01-31-2007, 06:19 PM

C-30 AT crossmember brace.

1.5 inches wide
2 inches tall
9.75 long

Didn't realize someone beat me to it... oh well. If Andy don't find his I'll sell mine.

**67sss** · 02-01-2007, 11:08 PM

$30 for the pair to your door. let me know.
Thanks!

Longhorn Man · 02-02-2007, 10:19 PM

Mine are sand blasted, painted and cleaned. (not in that particular order)
They are in a box ready to ship... 45 to your door, I would give them an 8 out of 10 on condition... some manir pitting and just shy of perfection on the paint.
All 4 grade 5 3/8 bolts with flat and lock washers included too.

Thanks Everyone.
