Re: If grasshoppers had machine guns the birds wouldn’t mess with them.

Alright guys, looking for some help here. I have read a lot of threads on here discussing the need for additional frame stiffening/support. I want to know what y’all think about my situation.

The truck will not be ran on a road course or anything of that nature. I do plan on taking it down the strip a couple times but won’t be a usual thing. I will drive this truck to any event that I go to... not a trailer queen and I plan on having fun while I’m on the roads.

Will have a 422 sbc 600hp/600tq.

Is there a need for more cross support of this frame?

If so, here are a couple of my thoughts so far.

The Yellow lines represent where I would place an x brace type system tied into the transmission crossmember with a bolt up system to allow for removal of transmission if needed.

The red line would be a crossmember with a driveshaft loop built in somehow.

The blue would be a crossmember underneath the existing 4 link mounts. Probably with some fancy metal work/cnc plating to cover it up and add style.

Thanks for any opinions and reading!
