Does that front assembly include the engine cradle/crossmember? Is it pretty much a complete (rolling) assembly? Also, does it have 1" rotors, or 1.25"?

Thanks

I would be interested in your trans crossmember, if it is the one that has a hump on both the drivers side and passengers side, to run dual exhaust system.
I'd also be interested in the front frame crossmember under the engine that connects the framerails.
how much for each? email me

[Fast68Chevy]

67 yes includes entire cradle, and even frame rails up front when i torch the truck into thirds like that, it is complete truck right now minus engine tranny, brakes do work, was runnign criving days ago, the cab is so everely rotted that there are literally no rockers left at all, doors wont open shut either, its not a Big10 so its probably std size rotors, cant guarantee that though, silverado's may have gotten larger brakes also,


bubba, i doubt 78 had provions for true dual exh, i belive anything 75-up will be single and no option for dual cuz of cat converter requirements in 75-up, this one is the std single exh member, sits inside rail on pass side and over outside of rail on driv side, exhaust goes through over the member on driv side

shoulda said soemthing the last time i cut up a 73-80 truck, the last one was a custom deluxe GMC and it had perfect shape woodgrain panels, not a flaw on them at all, i scrapped them no one wante dthem,...... ill check these but i doubt it on this truck, the cab is horrible you would freak if you saw how rusted gone it is, is typical around here, gee i wonder why hardly any are left anymore,,.

[Fast68Chevy]

doors and panels are scrap, they dont even match anyways, only guts of doors may be decent, power lock in pass door, driver door is manual door replacement door and is scrap already

Fast 68,

I definitely want that complete suspension, and I'll pick it up when I visit my girlfriend in Peoria in a couple weeks. I'll let you know for sure when it would be. PM me with directions from Peoria.

Thanks,
Jeff
