Re: S10 Swap how to
Iwould say you should keep that cross member if you can. it is likely there for frame strength and to keep the frame from twisting from the stress of the torsion bars. the torsion bar cross member is only connected to the bortom frame flange and it carries the weight of whatever the front suspension is carrying. that cross member is connected to the bottom and top frame flange. I would notch it like joedoh's pic shows rather than remove it. manufacturers don't spend money on stuff they could do without. if it really needs to go then build another one that does the same function and install it behind the torsion bar cross member maybe, then remove that one. that way that cross member will keep the frame from "springing" until the new one is in place.
