I need a 94-96 dual hump crossmember

Anybody put a dual hump crossmember from the 94-96 b-body in their box chevy? I heard it requires welding an extension to get it to the correct spot on the box chevy frame. If anybody's got info or a pic of this particular mod that would be great and even better is if somebody's got a crossmember for sale because my junk yard is fresh out of the 94-96 models. Thanks.

On the driver side (left side) frame rail, note where the crossmember mount is on the rail itself (the part that is enclosed). You will need to weld an angle bracket about 6" long onto the frame directly behind this point and then drill your new bolt holes in it.

As for the crossmembers themselves, it really does look like a junkyard trip is in order. They tend to go fast when they're out here, and that isn't often.

That sounds simple enough. Yah I keep calling the yard to see if they got anything in. I know if I find one online shipping is going to be nasty.

You could always make your own if you have access to a welder....

I made my own awhile back for my '91. I supported the frame on stands (so the car wouldn't move), the trans with a jack, & cut out 8 inches or so of the x-member where I needed the clearance for the new exhaust.

I then took a piece of 3/8" flat stock, bent it into a squared off "U" shape, & welded it into place of the void (open part facing down of course). I was worried about strength, so I made some small triangle shaped gussets and welded them into place on either side of the flat stock.

This gave me plenty of clearance for my new pipes, and cost virtually pennies to make. It's been 5 years and I have had no breakage or deforming, which is no small feat considering the way that I tend to drive :).
