double x-member with trailing arm mounts!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jephs422 · 02-04-2009, 01:43 PM

We built this for a gentleman on the board here for his 67. This x-member has a drop out transmission mount and mounts for the stock lower trailing arms. This is a weld in unit and is priced at $899.00. Again, as with all our products, it's 100% TIG welded and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Sweet piece!

Nice work as always

TylerHuff · 02-04-2009, 02:12 PM

No, we don't sorry. As a manufacturer we don't always have the good fortune to be able to shoot the installed piece. This was made for the guy on here, and we did mock it up in the truck (obviously, LOL) but it was made before I could get pics.

bdydrp97s10 · 02-04-2009, 02:47 PM

that will stiffen up the frame for sure..

is it a pro street truck or something where he wouldnt want any frame flex?

or is it purely asthetic

I don't know the exact app for him, but it serves both purposes. Pro-Street or daily driver, you can never suffer from a stiffer chassis. It will always only help the way your trucks ride or handle. And yes, it is a lot better looking that the stock crappy piece, LOL...

72BlckButy · 02-04-2009, 03:20 PM

That sure is pretty!

*project 67 sub* · 02-04-2009, 04:37 PM

wish i could have it for my burb..... but no money lol.

jlaird · 02-04-2009, 07:10 PM

That is nice but I wouldn't want to put it between our ugly stock frame rails. Would look awesome between custom 2x4 frame rails.

Spray-Bomb · 02-05-2009, 03:13 AM

Looks like what is in my drag truck !!!

I like it

bwkennedy · 02-05-2009, 09:43 PM

Yeah that looks awesome, but it would look even better on my 66.

vin63 · 02-06-2009, 06:05 PM

That is some trick stuff, there!

*Shane* · 02-06-2009, 07:37 PM

Why would a street truck need this type of rigidity? Not knocking it, just curious.

Good question Shane.The stock truck frame is fine the way it is.Our customer wanted something custom looking
for his chassis.He said he has looked at other after market
companies and did not see anything he liked.He gave us a
call and asked if we had something different.We e-mailed
about 75 different style of x-members he saw one he liked
and ordered one.

This customer is building one badd ass truck in tnn.
He also is running one of our Scotts Superslam ifs that
has 13 inch 6 piston calipers on the front.
He has just ordered a set of our custom trailing arms we make for these trucks.Hopefully you understand now.

So the only benefit for a stock frame is cosmetic ?

I am building this truck for a lil bit of both worlds strength and sight. The truck we are building has the Scotts Superslam suspension as Justin at Scotts said earlier hopefully we are doing 14" Brakes up front and not 13". A LS2 engine rated at around 450 HP. 12" rear brakes, 3.73 ratio rear, 22x8.5 wheels up front and 22x10 in the rear so in the benefit to me is both cause at the shows around here no one will even come close to this setup on a 1966 Chevy Stepside.

larry may · 02-07-2009, 07:36 PM

Well there ya go and now ya havit. I like the looks of every bit of the story. Good job.

smashingchuck · 02-08-2009, 01:51 AM

looks pretty good. How about some more pics of the build since we have the owner on here now?

LOL!!!

Hey here's a few pics of his C-notches too

Before anyone says anything about the price, these c-notches are an exact match to the contour of the stock frame and are custom made. That being said, this set runs about $499.00

Sorry for the bad photos I didn't take any really good ones before they got packed up..

Twisted Minis · 02-08-2009, 02:59 AM

Very nice work, I am always impressed with what you guys do.

I believe I talked to Justin at Reso last year? You guys had an impressive display.

vin63 · 02-08-2009, 12:00 PM

Any time you can increase the torsional strength of the frame, I'm in. Is this structure going to be butt-welded into the channel of the C-frame rail, or is the frame being boxed?

The x-member wil be welded to the inside of the frame rail.
Then there are boxing plates we made that go with the
x-member that have cut outs for the round tubing.Then you will do a finish weld on the outside of the box plate and
the tubing.
Justin

We are glad all you guys like the x-member
