Looking to buy: 292 4x4 Engine crossmember
I am looking to buy an engine crossmember for a 292 6cyl 4x4. This is proving difficult to find. This is for my new project a 1968 K20 Suburban. It will be turbo charged. I live close to the USA/Canada border so shipping within either country works well for me.
Thanks |

I’m pretty sure I have one from my 67, I’ll go check, shipping from Florida might be steep though

Thank you for checking! Not sure how it all works on here but please send a picture to confirm if you can.
My Zipcode is 83805. Let me know how much shipping is, and how much you'd like for the crossmember. Thanks again! |

I have a whole 1970 K20 with a 292, 4 speed and power steering! Talk about hard to find. I’d consider selling the whole truck

Re: Looking to buy: 292 4x4 Engine crossmember
Welcome Aboard! Back in the day, my dad had a 3/4 ton, 292, 4x4. No idea if it had power steering. We lived in Sandpoint then and he was a logger so when he traded it in, around 1975 it had close to 150k on it. Later in life he would comment on how it was one of his favorite trucks.
I haven't been through Porthill since the 70's. We had a great uncle who still lived on the family's 180 acre homestead east of Moyie Springs. Please forgive the highjack. Your thread but it brought back some memories. Good luck with the project. And we would love to see photos and a thread on it.

I’d like $250 for the crossmember. Shipping I’ll have to see if I can find a box and get a quote

I'm not certain, but some shipping companies may let you wrap it with their shrink wrap at the depot and ship it like that. |

Very cool! Sandpoint has changed a lot since the 70's........Porthill, not too much! I will try to get a thread going over the winter for the Suburban. I'm hoping to have it up and running for next summer. Just trying to skip the minivan and go straight to the 68 Suburban instead for the family Thanks |

Re: Looking to buy: 292 4x4 Engine crossmember
I brought the crossmember into the house last night, I’m going to pop off the bolts to be able to lay it flatter for shipping quote and will wrap it up. Sorry slow moving with kids and work

Re: Looking to buy: 292 4x4 Engine crossmember
I recently sent a t-case crossmember, 4x4 V-8 crossmember and t-case torque bracket to a member in the midwest. i disassembled the engine crossmember and zip tied and duct taped all of it together, wrapped the hell out of it with saran wrap and clear packing tape and sent it through USPS with no problem.

I know a couple people who use this service and say it actually works well to reduce the cost.

Re: Looking to buy: 292 4x4 Engine crossmember
I have one in a truck, I have frequently thought about removing it and trying to make a reproduction.
Not an exact copy, of course, but one with the appropriate measurements that would do the job.
