Help identifying year of this crossmember

Did some garage cleaning today and I have no idea where I got this front crossmember. I am debating keeping it or not. Can anyone identify if this is a newer style 73-87 crossmember?

Thanks.
Jake

Solid control arm bushings and coil springs mean it's a '63-'72

Re: Help identifying year of this crossmember

Brake line connection on the FRONT side of the a-arms means it's a 71-72 crossmember.

It could also be a C20/30 crossmember from '71-'87. The C20 and 30's retained the steel control arm bushings. But with the brake line connection right on the crossmember like that I would agree with a '71-'72 C10,20 or 30

Re: Help identifying year of this crossmember

So I probably should just get rid of it. I was debating keeping it in case I want to build another c10 one day but if it's an older crossmember I might as well pitch it.

Re: Help identifying year of this crossmember

There is nothing wrong with the older crossmembers. You can bolt up later control arms to it or if it is a early 3/4 ton the lower control arms will not be bolted on with U bolts. Hard to tell if there are u bolts there with all that mud and greese build up..
