Re: pancake/section x member
There's a how-to here:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=543729 Or you can notch the frame rails 1.5". Frame is upside down in these pics. I did this to my '66 instead of sectioning the crossmember since I needed the crossmember height for the rack & pinion mount. Starts at post #518 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ilocks&page=21

Re: pancake/section x member
PO of my 66' sectioned the cross member on my truck and did such a bad job I need to replace the whole thing with another one soon. I think he used a chain saw and was half blind. Good luck with yours and take your time. I can speak from experience, a poorly done one in no fun.
