Staying on for this write up! Clean work man

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

I was considering this same thing for my build, since I am in the "Too poor for Porterbuilt" parts club as well. Very nice to have this how-to guide, thanks a ton for the time you took, and are still taking, for the write-up.

John, excellent write up. I used the same motor mount perches on my '63 frame. I just cut them down to fit the frame rail.

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

The skills some of you guys have amaze me!! This looks like something I would see on the HAMB but with more skill.

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

Nice work, very thorough.

I know how aggravating it is to take pics while in progress on a project too, so thanks for sharing.

I have learned more on this forum then any other forum.Plus there is no bullcrap or whining on this forum.Thanks for the tech Chief Rocka.

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

Chief, after you section the crossmember do you go ahead and add 2.5" drop spindles ? or is this not possible after sectioning due to steering clearances....???? Kieth :gmc2:

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

HAMB, whats that ?? :lol::lol:

SAL !!! How have you been ?!? Been a while, huh ??

Thanks Woo. It does take a little more time, instead of just tearing into it...but I think its worth it to share ... ;)

No prob ... You talking about LIL, by chance ?? :lol:

You can. As for steering issues, the clearance problems are due to the crossmember being raised.

A dropped spindle typically is cast with the spindle relocated, but the steering arm is in the 'stock' location.

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

Great write up ChiefRocka!

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

Thanks man !!

As mentioned before, yes I will be raising the steering. I will have a full how to on that as well.

I haven't touched it in a while. Been busy setting up my new shop ....

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
 

This is what I needed, I jumped right into my crossmember after swing what you did, made it a lot easier than i first believed , thanks
