Moving crossmember ahead?

[Johnny_Lamebridge]

Hi Guys,

I'm debating whether on not to replace the front suspension in 63 C10 with a 73-87 setup.

I've heard of people moving the crossmember ahead 1" to center the wheel in the fender opening. I've done some searching but haven't been able to find anything. Can someone point me to a thread?

What I was wondering, is what happens with the motor mounts? Does the engine & trans move ahead too? Not a big deal I guess if I need to fab a driveshaft already.

Do aftermarket crossmembers have this 1" forward move built-in?

Thanks for any info
