Front Disc Crossmember removal ?
This has probably been covered before but no "Search" feature so bear with me as I ask:
What am I looking at to remove the 5 lug disc, front crossmember from a '71 2wd 1/2 ton coil spring long bed. Engine and tranny are gone, 5 lug rear 3:08 axle now has a new life in Oklahoma, front clip is ready for the scrap heap. Radiator support is out and is useable if anyone needs such. My plan is to dis-connect the brake lines at the " T " fittings on the driver's side and leave the lines attached to the front discs. Then un-bolt as needed at the frame, looks like about 5-6 good sized bolts on each side. Will the springs stay compressed between the a-arms as I am not taking that apart? Would like to leave the cross-member as a "drop-in" unit if possible. After I have it out I will be selling it and the disc-drum prop. valve complete and resonable. Won't work on my 6-lug 4x4. Any ideas and suggestions appreciated, bear in mind do not have a cutting torch handy. ![]()
