Tinworks Fab Crossmember Modification for 65 C10 EP.30

Project Jezebel - 65 SWB C10
A couple of simple modifications to the transmission and rear control arm crossmembers. As nice as the Tinworks Fab crossmember is, it's just to specific for my build. They are made for a truck this is going to be slammed. In my case, my truck is only going to be about 3-4" lower then stock. So the Tinworks piece had to change to keep me from having contact issues.

Have Tinworks “ frame stiffener” mocked up in 75 c10. Detroit speed coilovers front and rear. Driveshaft would contact same area at full suspension droop. Time for axle limiting straps? I don’t think so on a street vehicle. Rework a 1450.00 chunk? Not too late to pull it out and eat cost. These chassis have the rigidity of spaghetti without some type of stiffener in the center, imho. I may raise engine mount 1 inch and trans mount same to get clearance. Whatever.

I thought about limiting straps for about a half second before I ruled them out. Unfortunately Tinworks seems to be setting all of their parts up for bagged trucks meant to lay frame. They have no options for a crossmember like we need. That's why I decided to modify their piece and roll with it.
