Finally back on the road again. Big Thanks to Captinfab

I just did a front cross member swap from a 1991 Suburban. Other thing in life got in the way and it took a lot longer than I hoped it would. But anyway it's done now. With a big thanks to Captainfab for not only the power steering bracket that he makes and sells that comes with excellent mounting instructions. But also other post he makes when replying to other member's questions. Reading one of his many post is how I figured out which master cylinder to use.

There are quite a few other members post that helped me along the way with completing this swap. I'm sorry I don't remember everyone's screen names from all the threads I read. So
I will just say a big Thank you to everyone on this site. It's full of valuable information.

My Truck is a 1966 C20 but now has a half ton suspension all around. I know some poeple cringe when they hear that. But it's my truck.lol
