Re: Here's to all Frame swapping

I'll be adding my own x-frame cross members to my 64. If i could have found a shortbed x-frame around me, I just would have used that.

Re: Here's to all Frame swapping

Is it the x that people don't like or is it the front suspension? I would also think that 63-66 frames are easier to find than 60-62 should a frame swap be necessary.

Re: Here's to all Frame swapping

I think it's because, while x-members make a very strong frame, their geometry makes it more difficult when you want to modify
