Removing front cross member on my 64 GMC
I have recently purchased a Porter Built front drop member and need to remove the stock front cross member on my 1964 GMC 1/2 ton. I am sure there is a thread somewhere about removing the stock one but I am having some trouble finding it. Do not know if it can come off as a single unit with everything attached or if it has to be dis-mantled. 4 bolts, 8 bolts or 50 bolts.
If someone can steer me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Thanks |

Re: Removing front cross member on my 64 GMC
We pulled mine as one piece. Just disconnected the steering, unbolted the crossmember and wheeled it out of there. There are some pics in my build thread if your interested.

Yeah, sorry. I meant just disconnect it from the steering box.
