LS Crossmember
I was asked by a couple of members to post some pictures of the cross member a built for my 72 4x4 Jimmy.
I don't really have any measurements because everyone's application will be a little bit different based on where you engine is going to sit. I am using the advanced adapters 4l60e to NP205 adapter so my engine is about an 1 3/8" forward than the original 350. Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: LS Crossmember
Sorry, but for the amount of time it took me to make, nobody would want one for what i would have to charge.
Yes it does. Except i doubt mine would work on a stock ride height truck like yours.

Re: LS Crossmember
Very nice work! I also understand the time, that goes into the "build" I have had a few guys ask "chop the top on my truck"? Most guys would not want to pay for 60 hrs of my time Its a labor of love...very nice work crazyl

Re: LS Crossmember
Yes, I can get you any measurement that you want. But, my measurements will be specific to my build with a 4" lift and the advanced adapters conversion kit. I set my engine to match the rear pinion angle of 5 degrees. Let me know what you would like and I will get it for you. Also, I don't think that the stock a/c compressor will work with my set up either. My Jimmy is not going to have a/c.
