Crossmember Drop - Page 23 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hows it coming fastbagged68. I was courious which crossmember you went with. I wanted to see someone make the stage 3 set-up with the fully fabricated crossmember work. I got tired of trying to deal with Bill, gave up on both versions and sold all of my Bill Turner parts ( two complete set-ups) to Fastbagged68 back in March. I ended up using a Fatman stage 5 and modified it by moving it forward on the frame rails.

GMC GRANDS- the mustang II one I am putting in a freinds truck as soon as mine is done. The other crossmember I cut up and made it lower and sold it. The Mustang II one is going to sit on coil overs all the way around. Might end up putting an corvette independent rear in it too. We will see. I will keep you posted!

GMCGRANDS · 06-09-2005, 06:06 PM

Fastbagged68,
Post some pic's for us when you have some time. Glad to hear you are making good use of the parts.

halffast blazer · 07-26-2005, 05:06 AM

does anyone have pics of their mustang II setup installed? i would like to see how you did the steering shaft.

98L150 · 07-26-2005, 09:53 AM

Here are pics of my friends truck w/ the mustang 2 and the steering hooked up. It is tight between the header and all but it does work great onthe test drives made in the truck. Had to trim off about 1" off of the column to get it to make the angle down toward the rack.

gostranger · 07-26-2005, 12:42 PM

fastbagged68 · 07-26-2005, 04:20 PM

I will post some pics of my suburban hopefully tonight. I need to finish up running my airlines, Clean up the welds, prep the engine compartment for paint, Finish building my motor, make my york brackets....Then it will be tearing up the streets.

halffast blazer · 07-26-2005, 05:25 PM

98L150, is that a dropped crossmember or an aftermarket unit? that's a pretty tight fit.

fastbagged68 · 07-26-2005, 05:57 PM

That looks like a Jim Meyer type crossmember. Aftermarket!

98L150 · 07-26-2005, 06:34 PM

It is a Jim Myers crossmember

GenIIIShorty · 07-26-2005, 10:44 PM

fastbagged68 · 07-27-2005, 04:23 PM

Here are some pics of my burban. Almost done. I need to finish doing my Accu Air, Mount my valves, run air lines, build brackets for engine driven compressor, dyno engine....assemble it!

milehightoyz · 07-27-2005, 04:45 PM

halffast blazer · 07-27-2005, 05:23 PM

fastbagged68, are you running the mustang rack or factory steering? got some pics of the suspension?

fastbagged68 · 07-27-2005, 05:25 PM

Tbird rack.... Pic of my suspension are in this topic somewhere. Only thing different is it is the crossmember is welded in.

98L150 · 07-28-2005, 09:45 AM

fastbagged68,

You may have answered this already, but what did you do for hood hinges or is it just sitting on there? Did the modification of the factory hood hinge work?

Jeff

fastbagged68 · 07-28-2005, 12:09 PM

Hood hinge is not fixed yet. Hood is just sitting on there.
