You know Scott's hot rod shop has a bolt in one and a few members have used it. http://www.scottshotrods.com/6387clip.asp or http://www.jimmeyerracing.com/pu6.html has a bolt in one too.

Re: Fatman Fab Mustang II

I would use a Porterbuilt Dropmember before I would switch everything over to a Fatman Fab crossmember.
You gain very little ground clearance, (which is what you need with any of these trucks that are lowered even slightly),...and you have to switch everything to Mustang II parts.

The Dropmember will allow you to keep your C10 a-arms and brake components.

Re: Fatman Fab Mustang II

Im well aware of all the front ends made such as Scotts, Porterbuilt, Thorbecke bros, etc. The reason I asked about fatmans is because Ive only seen theres in a magazine spread and not on here. Im sure they all have great products and Porterbuilt being the most popular, just wanted some feed back on something different. Porterbuilt will probably be on my list of things to get next year. Thanks for the replies.
