72 front crossmember
We have a 72 front crossmember with disk brakes. We want to swap out the 69 front crossmember with drum brakes. What is easier to change it out. The whole crossmember or the A arms and other stuff and bolt them to the existing crossmember.
Thanks, Ramiro |

Re: 72 front crossmember
It will be a direct bolt in.

Re: 72 front crossmember
As stated a direct bolt in, but I find 99% of the time the whole thing needs to come apart anyways to be rebuilt. Easier for me to handle a lower control arm than a 300 lb + frame section and wrestle it in to line up the holes
