Crossmember broken
My "father" broke the crossmember that holds the proportion valve, not sure how he managed to do that but it's really done for...seriously every time I go work on the truck I'm always finding something else he's done, hard to get over anger when it's always something new to irritate you...I digress.
I've searched online to buy a replacement, not really sure the correct term because everything turns up but that. My suburban has a solid piece unit, I would like to use the same to replace the one on the truck. Are these sold new, because square bodies in the yards are like finding a unicorn. As always sincere thanks for you advice, it via greatly appreciated! '84 c10 swb/sbc

Re: Crossmember broken
I have see then hit and bent up before by folks that run them in the fields and all. My guess would be look in a junkyard for one and grind/chiesel the rivets out, then put it in your dad's with grade 8 bolts.

Re: Crossmember broken
My Dad's 83 has the same x-member with the large holes in it. His cracked when the steering box started to come loose. Cracked around the steering box also. Check it out, and check the box bolts also
