Sectioned crossmember 73-87
It’s been a good few years since been on here but project is getting started again. There was a man selling already fabricated custom sectioned crossmembers and other c10 specific bagged parts. I believe somewhere east coast. Anyone remember who that was?

Re: Sectioned crossmember 73-87
Don't know who sold sectioned/pancaked x-members on the East coast.
Turner Enterprises used to sell them out West years & years ago (like 20yrs). I know where there's one sectioned 1.5" in DFW area.

Re: Sectioned crossmember 73-87
It might have been mid west area. He also sold no pump steer tie rod ends and custom adjuster sleeves. Bagged long bed truck with Steelies and a latter rack in the back.
How much you think for the one in DFW area?

Re: Sectioned crossmember 73-87
Yep. That's a 10hr job for a cleanly modded x-member that's ready for install.

There may even be a forum member around your area that does them. They are pretty involved, but not that hard. |

When I reached out to Turner Ent. back around 2000, his price was $350 plus the cost of freight. Given what the mod can help with, I had an idea & tried doing one on my own. I bought a welder & plasma cutter. It took some time & I learned some things. I subsequently did more of them w/the goal to do enough to pay for the welding machine. I accomplished that goal. I used to keep one of each done (63-72; 73-87) but they took-up too much space.

Re: Sectioned crossmember 73-87
Exactly it is not hard. Any competent weld shop. Any competent shop can do the work. It just takes time to make it look factory.

Re: Sectioned crossmember 73-87
Scoti yours looked better than mine that's for sure. I loath grinding so I just try to make the welds look nice and the new owner can do what they want. If you have a plasma and aren't cleaning it up after I can see it done in 5-6 hours.

Also.... I clean up front & back for the ones going under my sheet metal. The one in that pic got just the front cleaned-up. The back just got a dusting from a flap wheel & then Scotch Brite wheel. I leave it up to the buyer to finish out the area that can't be seen.
