Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
The 73-87 frame rail is about 3/4" taller at the crossmember than the 63-72 frames. It is the same width, but the inner frame support brackets will be too tall.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember

This has no affect when using an oem crossmember, since there is no inner frame support.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Not only the front crossmember, but the trailing arm crossmember has the same inserts. So that wouldn't fit either.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Nate, I also have a question about your LS Motor Mounts. Is is possible to run a series of holes together so that the engine could be moved forward or backward in small increments? The holes that I am talking about would be just like the series of holes you now use on your trailing arm crossmembers. Here is a link to a picture in case I am not making any sense.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I'm about to wrap up my 68 C10 build and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions/ideas/pictures of how you route the front air lines to the bags? I'm using the standard flexible lines, but do not se a clean way to do it. Thanks in advance, and OBTW, here are some pictures,

Not sure what you are looking for. You can buy "bulkhead" PTC fittings that would mount in the frame rail. https://www.grainger.com/product/EATON-WEATHERHEAD-Bulkhead-Union-2ZKY6?s_pp=false&picUrl=//static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/2ZKY4_AS01?$smthumb$

![]() I have no problem drilling a hole in the frame. I'm just trying to figure out if people are coming from the front side of the front crossmember (red) or from the backside of the front crossmember (blue). If you come from the front, you have to loop the air lines 180. If you come from the backside, you have to contend with the brake lines and the shock mounts. Either way, I don't see and easy or clean way to do this.....
