1st Generation Chassis

Post by bubs »

On the front of a 1st generation the front cross member is back about 2" from the front and is also not square with the rest of a chassis

any one see anything wrong with just getting some RHS and filling the front in, right in front of the stock crossmember, pic below showing frame as it sits
