Re: LS Cross member for 4x4 question

Hey guys, I've been doing extensive research on a cross member for my LQ9 swap into my '72 K10. After realizing that hundred of dollars for a piece of bent tube is beyond Ludacris, I decided to make my own out of .120 wall chromoly tubing I have and use my JD bender. That's when I came across a guy at Pomona that had two sick old skool Burbans with LS Swaps. He had some simple and clean black powder coated cross members. When I asked the builder how much I could get one for, he told me to walk over to "The Truck Shop" vendor and buy a Chevy 47-59 truck V-8 Swap cross member they run $46.00, yup.... That's right..... $46.00 it's on page 93 of their 1947-1959 truck catalog. They even have the motor mounts, all you need is the LS mount plates and you're set. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow, trust me, you can't beast this cross member and the price is beyond right.

It looks like this universal kit but for even less coin, the build is very solid, I couldn't even build one myself for $46 and definitely not worth my time when I can get such a nice piece for this price, I hope it helps.
