'72 bent front suspension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Goose · 07-31-2005, 10:20 PM

I had a little curb interaction with my crossmember and now the crossmember is bent. Not sure if it can be straightened by a body shop or not. Meanwhile I'm checking into replacements. Has anyone used the Fatman crossmember and parts for the 67'-'72 trucks? If so, does it tie into the stock steering arrangement or do you have to replace the steering setup as well? Are you basically putting in Mustang II equipment on a adaptable crossmember?

Other ideas? Thanks for any help.
