Looking for Motor Towers/ Cross member

[69crewcab]

Anyone have a crossmember with the motor towers on it for a 6.9/7.3 truck??
price it with shipping to 19401

motor towers?
is that the bolt on plate onto the crossmember?
or the brackets between the motor mounts and the block?

What i would like to buy is the complete crossmember cut out from the frame with everything connected to it minus the motor and motor mounts.
I have a 6.9 with motor mounts on it, i just need the crossmemeber and the plates the motor mounts bolt to.

pm mel/agnem
he has done two gas to diesel conversions using the gasser crossmember.
I have a set of the bolt-on plates still or if you really want a crossmember, I can do that too but the shipping will be a literal killer to the east coast.

would like the whole crossmember and plates for my diesel conversion. So i have no gasser crossmember to work with..
I know Greyhound Bus has cheap shipping, you could ship the crossmember that way.
Or see what shipping would be to 19401 thru ups or fedex ground

I have one. Frame rails still attached to it and everything. I guess if there's something you need that unbolts I'm not sure what it is.
Describe what you need, I'll find the thing and take pics tonight.

The cross member is riveted on. What are you buidling? Going to the trouble of swapping out the cross member for a motor that only makes 170 HP is really not worth it. But.... if you insist... I have one too. It would cost you shipping, plus my time to grind the rivets off.

The gasser cross members are pretty much the same thing, I think we had to drill a couple of the motor mount bolt holes out, but other then that we put the diesel mounts in and bolted the motor in when my cousin and I swapped a 6.9 in place of a 351w.

Looks like a lot of us have this stuff sittin around. I have one sitting in the scrap pile...

 

[69crewcab]

are the 2wd and 4x4 crossmembers the same?

 

[Ironman03R]

I think they're all the same because I've noticed the cutout on the driver side for the oil filter on a gasser is on the Diesel on too.

Only difference between the 2wd and 4wd crossmembers is the 2wd suspension bracket that is riveted in the middle.
