Re: 1968 Custom Camper Duramax

Picture 1 and 2 show the new front cross member. The old one probably would have worked, however it was bent pretty bad and it got in the way of the stock Duramax radiator hoses. The new cross member also ties in the front spring hangers and incorporates a standard size receiver through the bumper for a portable winch or removable tow hook. I may make a license plate holder that slides into the receiver to cover up the hole. The last picture is of the added gussets in the engine area for the added weight of the engine.
