Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build

Here's my initial X member design. It's got upper and lower X bracing tied into a round tube center section. I'm going to cut out all of the original crossmembers so I can fully box the frame rails, and gotta get a trans so I can mock up the engine mounts and trans crossmember before I can start in the X member. I'll mount the cab so I can see how far down and back I can move the engine/trans for better weight distribution too. These kinds of mods don't cost much but should make a huge difference in how the truck drives and handles.

Don't make too much fun of my lack of MS Paint skills.
