Re: 60->78 crossmember swap really tight

I ended up putting a come along around the frame and giving it a little squeeze that made all the difference and I was able to wiggle it in. I've had it in and out a few times now getting all the holes drilled and lined up. I've tried again with out the squeeze and its a no-go. I found a spot that the front 2 lower bolts matched up. The wheel looked good to me front to back in the wheel well so that was the position I worked off of. shock mounts for sure are not lining up so factory 60 mounts have been ground off and that is this weeks project to get them relocated and paint the frame so I can get this crossmember mounted final/ final and move on to getting the motor mounts and trans crossmember positions figured out.
