how to pancake a 67-72 C10 ( removal, cutting, welding and reinstalling)

in this video I'll show you how to pancake your front cross member. I'll be removing removing the cross member with the motor still in the truck cutting out the center to lower it and weld it back together. then reinstall it and talk about what else needs to be modified after the pancake to make things work

I replaced a rusted out front crossmember on mine without removing the motor. I just ran a peice of box tubing under the harmonic balancer and sat it on the frame rails. Worked great. Here's the video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpbUeqCGZrGge9E
