Projects 36 ford x- member

Still need info on installing tubular x-member in my 36 ute thanx

 

That's a pretty wide open question. Do you mean like how to instructions or why you should or shouldn't, who's to use?

Thanx for the reply.I guess pretty much all those questions or would I be better off just using the center mount kit as I want to use a turbo 350

 

This is your answer

 

Yup. The stock X-members will be stronger than you could ever need, unless they are badly corroded, have all the proper holes and mounts in them, are the right size, and already in your frame...

 

RainierHooker is right on. Unless your starting with Scrap Iron for a stock X member I can't think of any good reason to cut it out and try to piece together a tube style. In fact I have had 1/8" folded up to repair and replace several stock X members. I could have just as easily walked over and bent my own tubelure style units. To me it's just the wrong direction for a 36 ute.

I believe there's a Chassis Eng. kit in the classifieds for a '36-'40 w/350..................................................
