some serious help needed. MN
i think i am in over my head. is this even repairable? i knew the coil spring cups where gone i just didnt know it was this bad. both sides if anyone in mn area would be willing to help me that would be awesome.
i have a set of vortec heads and rpm air gap intake that could be used for trade. also have a nos cheater kit that i could trade for help. i have no money i can spend (besides materials and beer) as i have twins on the way ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It's repairable but I think I would try and find a different cross member, remove the rivets and bolt the new cross member in. If the frame has rust out underneath it would have to be repaired also. LockDoc

Re: some serious help needed. MN
I bet if you PM Teeitup, Randy, he may have one of those cross members. Or put a WTB ad on here and I bet you can get a frame patch and the cross member.

Re: some serious help needed. MN
It's all fixed now. I cut out and welded in frame repair pieces and then remade the coil spring mounts out of 1/8 inch sheet steel. Motor is back in. Made 518 hp and 500 torque!
