The Crossmember is nice for the price it has the nicest plates I have come accessed with no modification of the Alternator bracket. And all the grade 8 hardware. LOL Listen to me sound like I work for the company.

As far as the modification you will have to cute the bar down. to make it fit in-between the rales.

And then from there it is up to you. I am join to make separate plates to weld inside the rales and with the crossmember bar welded to that. After ordering 2 other conversion kits and Even the one from CPP. I came across this one.

The funny story I even called CPP to explain what I was doing. And they were going to sale me there tubular LS conversion kit as they call it. I ran into a forum about conversions and read it is only for 2wd. I was fired up when I cancelled as I had searched for over 2 months trying to find a kit. Then I went a searching again. Came across this one "FROM CPP" on EBAY and well it works great can't believe they don't tell 4wd people about it. But anyway it worked out Sorry about the rant. I love the challenge hate the stupidity.

Also going to try something they say @ Brothers not to try, and that is the Brothers 1 piece window conversion kit.

I have talked to a window guy long and hard about this, and I think we can get it to work. I will see either a sweet idea, or a disaster.

[tubbedII]

I'd try these from Captkaos before going with the Brothers' kit since in post 8 it has it installed in a blazer door. It also doesn't have the little filler piece...

So with that being said, does anyone want to buy a Brothers one Piece Power Window Kit. Man Tubbed were were you 3 months ago. LOL I appreciate the link and may be changing kits. That is funny I searched to see if any one had done this yet, and well could not find a thing.

Talked to Brothers the recommended against it. Have glass guy that said it will be fine, and well ordered it. I do like the one with no spacer. I was told Brothers new ones have no space though I will have to look through the box and see.

Thanks again. Someone always has a little more info right?

Very nice, I looks good to see it in. I had one other choice, but the other looked almost like it belonged in a 2wd to me.

Is this specifically made to bolt to the 67-72 firewall and use the stock pedal linkage?

All I had to do is cut the ends down to fit inbetween the fram rails. and then build a C Channel to weld in the fram rails so I could bolt the Crossmember to it.

Yep, I had it bolted up and linked to the stock pedal in less then 10minutes. Just Call Tallon and the will get you everything you need for what you are doing.
It was a great experience to talk to someone that new what the motor was from the Steering is a 2wd box for the crossover steering, and then all the connections needed with the T-Splices.
