Re: Bucks 55 build

I still have to cut and make it a bolt in like the GMC’s have then add metal to the bottom of it then cut the center down to the new metal . In other words make it deeper under the trans .

On my build the low point of the cross member was to be nine inches above the road at ride height . Since I’m adding metal to the bottom it’ll be seven inches .

The sad thing is the photos were taken the day it was finished getting the suspension installed at NoLimit back in December 2010 . After I got it home I installed the calipers and Wheel Vintiqes Artillery wheels and Coker wide white tires . Then shoved it in the corner of the shop to sit for years as I gathered a mock up cab , rad & fans support inner fenders and a 5.3 & 4L60E .
Meanwhile I spent 3 years rebuilding an Airstream , redoing my pick up trailer , new engine install (body off) in my Tahoe , currently reassembling my 66 Dart .

And there it sits ...
