how to build a mustang II crossmember

I have a 55 chevy truck and would like to know were to get a diagram to build one I have access to plenty of machines and tools and I am a pretty good fabricater any info let me know

I know of no diagram (except factory engineering) that will give you what you need. You would have to find a MUST II/late PINTO engine/suspension cradle and either adapt it to your rails or take the specs off of it.

-Installation Instructions For MUST II XMBR KITS-

Check the Steetrodder Magazine indexes, a few years back they ran an article about cutting trimming a stock crossmember and installing it in early chevy or ford.

Where are you located? I am up near Lake Erie Between Cleveland And Sandusky. I have the drawing you need. I coppied them off original pieces from a kit.

this is just a suggestion,i have made my own mustang 11 front ends. there is a lot of work, planning, measuring, fabricating, etc. for the price you guys can buy them its really not worth it. good luck with your project.

hey i have a 1950 ford truck and i want to build my own suspension and need info on how to do it cud u pass on any info it wud be nice Dan

Maybe a good compromise between buying a complete pre-fab or building from scratch would be to go with one of these:

Welder series in Canada sells laser precut fold and weld kits. The last time I checked My son was planning to do one for his 36 ply and the price was only about $ 125 Us for time and materials it is a bargin. they sell a lot of other rod stuff.

welder series have a lot of utube videos of their builds

wow..a 7 year old thread back to life.

get the Welder's series item , it is very well engineered unit.
