Davis...we BOTH must have some email Gremlins(pun intended). I've 
emailed you several times? You emailed me before and i never received 
it...mostly came thru on the list??? It looks great. Yeah...think i 
should have just swapped the V8 crossmember instead of trying the 
Bulltear deal! His setup DOES appear REALLY beefy! MC told me he had 
never seen a crossmember with single large diuameter hole on each 
pad? Said mine must be an OLD crossmember?? Who knows??? I gotts send 
him measurement of my frame pads...he is to make up as template of 
where to drill the new holes. . Joe--- In
