Re: 67 C10 Makin it handle

Thanks guys! Got my transmission crossmember built yesterday. Just needs some finishing grinding... It Sits flush with the bottom of the frame, and has just enough space on top for the exhaust to sneak through. i made it as think as i could and made sure it ties the top and bottom of the frame rails to each other.

I will be making an X out of .120 wall 2 inch pipe from the trans crossmember to the crossmember the trailing arms mount to. I want as much torsional stiffness as I can get out of the frame without spending a ridiculous amount of time on it, or adding a ton of weight.
