anyone Have photos of AfterMarket Front Crossmember?? who makes the best one??
I want to lower my '67 at least 4 to 6 inches in the front... I hear by changing the front sub-frame crossmember to an aftermarket one, I won't have the control arms hitting everything on the road.
does anyone have any photos of the underside showing it installed? or has anyone got any experience in working with these? and who makes a good one.? Thanks!

perhaps I am calling it wrong, I am talking about the front suspension and the piece that sits under the motor..

Porterbuilt Dropmember is the ONLY option IMO. Built specifically for our trucks, not modified from something else like most of the others.

I believe that http://www.jimmeyerracing.com/pu6.html makes something too, but I don't know much about them. Porterbuilt is an active member of the board so we have all seen the photos, descriptions and buildups.
