Adding X bracing to 64-66 chassis. Who's done it?

Gentlemen,

Done a bit of research on the matter, looked at the post by Mr Astronaut (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=495785) and the 'how to make it handle' thread by Rob.

I cant quite visualise what Rob is discussing and Mr A's is probably more detailed than I want to attempt.

My question is, therefore, who else has added X Bracing to their truck and how did you do it? Pictures would be really useful!

As for why... Well have got part of the way through my suspension upgrades ( front ARB relocated shocks, dropped spindles etc) and am going to be removing the bed over the long weekend to affix the rear ARB along with cleaning and painting the rear chassis.

It seems like the obvious time to add the bracing plus, as I intend to use Woody in autocross events, it is a cheap upgrade.

Over too you.

P.

I used an Art Morrison weld in kit - #32347102 along with some homemade bits on my '69 C10. Pics of what I did are on my profile page.
