71 front crossmember on 64 frame?
Morning, I have searched threads about a 71 crossmember under a 64 chassis and see that the 73-87 is most popular.
i just purchased a 64 with a 71 crossmember installed. The fella did a. Dry clean job with all new everything so I'm planning to stay with it unless . Anyone with experience with this combo have any info that may be handy or any cautionary tales? I'll post pictures later. This is my first 60-66 |

Re: 71 front crossmember on 64 frame?
it will be fine. If it is a nice clean job and you have power disc brakes then you are ahead of the game. The later model stuff has rubber bushings which are supposed to give a smoother ride but I dought it is much smoother and we also use the 73 87 stuff because there is more of it out there and not so hard to find.

This is what is under my 65, not a thing wrong with it at all! I also added drop spindles and springs when I rebuilt my front suspension.
