Re: Fitment problems

We sell a new style auto crossmember for $70.00 thats a direct bolt in.

With the fact that the 73up frame is so much narrower than a 67-72 I myself wouldn't want to try to fabricate something to make the 73up crossmember work because you'll either need to weld brackets on the frame to extend it further in or to the crossmember and both would look rather hobbled up in my opinion considering what needs done to make it work.
