Got my first part for my build! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got my first part for my build: 1968 C20 LWB.
I picked up a complete front crossmember, rotor to rotor, for $100. This was taking it off myself.
Good news for you guy(and gals): I'm supposed to be getting a digital camera for my Bday

This means PICS....PICS....PICS

of my build on this forum. I'm excited and can't wait to start documenting my build.
My only question at this point is if BB mounts from 73-87 would work and if not, why not? Other than that I know I've read over some of this info already on this forum. Be cool all.....later.
Another build coming your way soon

Click the "Index" link in my sig, there's a write up on using later model mounts to mount bbc.

Thanks a million for that krue. However, I noticed in that thread that the question of whether it sits higher or not, was not answered. Is there a major difference in height? Are there any advantages/disadvantages compared to using the proper year mounts. Thanks.
