Have a question and a statement.

Question, do you plan on reinstalling the front crossmember? Reason I ask, is it is the main location of the front radiator support, both up and down, right and left measurements, that all the front sheetmetal attaches too.

Statement, the rear portion of the crossmember can be removed, all it did was hold the original engine (inline six) mount. If it were me (and it's not) I would cut out part not needed and reinstall the front portion.

No trying to be a smart a$$, just from experience on working with these trucks...Jim
