Has anyone seen or tried this? Inquiring minds want to know.

Re: Cross member
This is it. David, I think it a waste to section a cross member. That's is my personal opinion. This kit is made by a non supporting forum member, the brothers.
It may only be a cheap imitation of PBFAB, but the price is right. Last edited by dec010974; 12-08-2015 at 08:19 AM. Reason: information |

Re: Cross member
This guy is from around here. I think he's on a huge back log so I hope you are not in a hurry.

It the Thorbro's, formally Suicide Doors, cross member. I bought the builder kit he was selling on Instagram. You have to fab your own motor mounts and inner frame supports but it was only $700 and uses stock arms. He did a limited run of 100 I believe. I ordered back in August though (its for my second project so it will be a long while before I need it) and he is still working on them. There are a number of different companies producing C10 cross members for varying prices now. Some have better designs than others. Had I not got the deal on the one I got I would have went with Porterbuilt or No Limit

Re: Cross member
Wow David. That says a mouth full. ill continue with my original plan and wait until I have the beans/coins for a worthy cross member. when I do pull the cross member and engine, the c10 will be rebuilt from top to bottom. Thanks. send the harness. ill wire it up and send it back.

Re: Cross member
While Jason is very talented and the kit appears to be a nice piece for the money, I think its worth spending the extra coin and going with the Porterbuilt or NoLimit. I'm very happy with my Porterbuilt setup.

I believe you can call Porterbuilt and get an older version of the crossmember still. The older versions could use the stock arms which would save you some money. I don't know if they still produced them or if he just had a few left over.

Re: Cross member
I know this is an older thread, And while Jason only came out with this builders kit in fall of last year. It's not a new kit at all that he has. He came out with it right after PB came out with his. I bought his P-51 kit, this one is the P-47. I bought my kit back in 07 from Jason. It's a great product. He only stopped making them because he was and is the only welder in the company and S10 parts is his main business.
