Don't forget to check the pads, someone in the past may have already changed the front cross member. Riveting the cross member can be a daunting task to do correctly. Need to build a big heavy buck for inside the frame. Takes a REAL RIVET GUN and not an air hammer. and is a 2 man job using heat. Often the cross member will cost about the same as a whole frame.
