3/4t crossmembers

I had to do some work on the frontend of my '94 G20 van over the weekend and while I was, I noticed how similar the crossmember is to the '73-'91 burb 3/4t crossmember that I installed in my '70. Even the sway bar looks similar. The only difference that I could see was the one under my van has the rubber bushings in the arm shafts compared to the screw in caps.
Does anyone know if this is also a bolt in option to the truck/blazer/burb crossmember? Maybe a new donor source. Lane

Re: 3/4t crossmembers

for years on here I've been told they weren't wide enough, then when it was brought up last month, someone said it was too wide, then when it was mentioned 2 weeks ago, no one said much at all.

Re: 3/4t crossmembers

I'll crawl back under it with my tape measure and let you know the exact measurements for the van and the '70 C20.

Re: 3/4t crossmembers

check the frame width, and then the wheel mounting point to wheel mounting point (track width)
