out of position crossmember - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i was wondering if this was correct? the crossmember behind the diff. isn't square with the frame. don't mind my flourescent yellow shocks, i'm in the middle of painting the frame and anything's better than rusty/red texas dirt colored metal.

The three frames I've seen are all like that.
I assumed it was due to the angle of the panhard bar mounting but am not sure.

hmm, ok. they could have thought of a better solution than to angle it in there like that.

jamal · 07-09-2005, 12:26 AM
