Mike,... I have a crossmember section on one of my parts trucks (upper shock mounts have been removed),... if you can't find one closer.
I could just sawzall off the frame section. I can look at it tomorrow,... but I think shipping might kill the deal.

I also have a pair of "rubber bushed" 73-87 lower a-arms,... but shipping would definitely be crazy.

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
Thanks Keith! take a look at what you have. It might not be too bad to ship snail mail or ups? I know I have some of the cross members out there in my stash, just don't want to cut up a complete frame. I know I don't have any control arms. I only need one, how hard is it to remove the mounting shaft? I bet that there is a bunch of weight in that part.

The a-arms cross shafts are different.
The cross shafts are specific to either 67-72 or 73-87. I'll try to take a few pics of the crossmember tomorrow.

Clyde,
I really only need the passenger side lower. Will you seperate it? how much? Shipping will probably kill the deal for the set.

Just price the one lower side plus shipping to me. I don't think there is any issue with you giving it to me cheap or free. Since you are not soliciting a buyer it should be okay. I really don't want to price another mans part. You don't happen to know if 71-72 are part specific? I have a few other half ton control arms, just curious if any of them would work? |

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
I bought some from a 68 and cleaned them up and powder coated them, installed the new shafts and ball joints then installed, no difference from the 65 to the 72 to the 72 that I could tell other than the mounts for the sway bar wasnt on the 68's and was on the 72.
I believe they are all the same from 63-72, with the exception of the 71-72 have the sway bar mounts. ( I think that is correct)

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
Mike here's a couple pics.
If you need different angles,... I'll have to get them tomorrow. (it get's dark too early now) I really think shipping will kill this deal. How about $20.00 plus shipping. My zip code is 65251. I use UPS, since they are here in town. Do you have any idea what this thing weighs? I hate to estimate shipping,... but I don't want to cut it off if you don't want it. It's holding the rear of the truck up off the ground. Ha. I was just going to cut directly in front of the crossmember.

What exactly is wrong with your crossmember? I may need to look real close at mine and make sure it's not rusted or anything else.

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
If you look at the pic on the top you can see where it was welded. Basically it has had several cracks fixed on it. not sure what the problem was, bad shocks?

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
Do you need a set of stock upper shock mounts?
(I might still have a set) Or are you going to use a set of rear shock relocators?

Also, I just found out through some research that it looks like the rh control arm I'm looking for is the same on the square bodies. So I should be able to pick one up at pull a part pretty cheap. |

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
With that much rear drop you'll definitely want to run rear shock relocators.
As far as the lower A-arm, I'm not sure, Keith is the right guy to be asking. Wish I could help you out more.

ECE, POL, CPP all sell them. You can run up to a 6" rear drop coil without a c-notch. Nate (72BlckButy) has a 6" rear drop with no c-notch,... and it's fine.

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
Yes,... the 73-87 (squarebody) a-arms will bolt right on.
The lower ball joint will have to match the year spindle you are using. (63-70, 71-87)

Thanks for the info on Nate's truck, I really like the height on it too. Still haven't had time to remove the old cross member yet. I really think I need to find it local because of the weight. |

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
I just bought the same crossmember for my son's 69 project. The weight on the box was 24 lbs. and shipping from Florence S.C. to right out side of Atlanta Ga. was $25.00. Hope this helps.

Re: WTB 2-1/2-3" drop spindles, L. control, Rear spring mount Xmember
Thanks for the info Greg65. I was able to pull the cross member today and weigh it. It weighs right at 15lbs with the frame piece it will be closer to 25lb. Keith, can you see how much it would cost to ship it from your place to 74851 OK? Thanks.

My zip code is 65251.
I use UPS. It might be a few days before I can get to it. It's 4* here and it's covered in snow. You will need to add the length (and weight) of the two frame rail sections also.
