Re: "Midnight Rider" 1970 C10 SWB Fleetside
After the last two issues, I need a good solid win. Let's install some crossmembers that actually fit!
Here's what we are working with...
So, this part could've been a lot harder if I didn't have the right tool to assist. With all of the crossmembers out, the frame actually shorten in width just a bit. It was just enough to make the holes misaligned. So, I put new 1/2" bolts back in the front crossmember. That ensured it was in the correct location. Then I used a hydraulic ram(and pillows) to spread the frame rails apart until my holes were lined up just right. I found several answers on how much torque to use on these bolts. With the nickel anti-seize, I decided on 40 lb/ft. Progress!!!
