Your xmember bolts to the side rails with a total of 4 bolts. Are we losing any rigidity of the frame because the top and bottom rails are not tied together? Seems like the frame would twist a lot more especially since the closest xmember behind it is at the bridge.
Also, will that carrier bearing fit the stock driveshaft? If so, where did it come from.
Thanks nate,

The chassis pictured had the factory trailing arm crossmember removed. There will be a crossmember to replace the factory trailing arm crossmember installed when the chassis is complete. This carrier bearing crossmember is designed to be used in conjunction with a modified factory trailing arm crossmember, or an ECE drop trailing arm crossmember.
The carrier bearing is a factory replacement for a 71-72 LWB C10 truck.
