Re: '72 K/30 Longhorn Conversion

Hey guys, I'm finally back at this project after getting distracted this last year. The big delay recently was trying to find a cross member for my 292 to sit on after taking out the 2wd front assembly it sat on previously. After poking around and being laughed at for trying to find an original 292 4wd cross member it dawned on me that it had been sitting in the yard this whole time in the original 2wd cross member.

I figured I would cut it out of the front 2wd cross member assembly and fabricate my own 4wd cross member from it. A couple cut-off wheels later and a little time in the sandblasting room i had it out and cleaned up. Then with the help of my Dad we clean up the edges ground down the factory spot welded tabs down on the inside and made it look pretty. I think it turned out pretty well!
