Seems like a lot of people are interested in doing this swap. I have also been thinking about the crossmember and agree that it has to go inside the frame rails like Scoti and N2Trux said. I want the truck lower than I was planning before. The CPP article has some good tips on setting up the suspension. I am also thinking about trying to run the 63-72 front and rear cool ride setup with the trailing arms. The coolride front is the same for 63-87 so I could just use the older kit. More research to come.
