Me 2.
I have an extree crossmember...was thinking of mounting it just behind the 208 and just welding plate to the two x members to bridge the gap.
You can but it usually has bad side effects...
Seen that before, seems to do the job
Especially after all the tranny fun Baba has had, keep those cases covered boys!
And driveshaft vibration kills them too...
My 73 was like this. I have seen a few other early trucks like that too.
Like a freaking 203 needed a skid plate
I recommend welding nuts to the crossmember, and *bolting* the skid plates to the cross. Otherwise it gets REALLY heavy REALLY quick. Even on a creeper on a garage floor, it's exciting to remove the skid in sections. Doing it all at once, just, eww.
Yours might be a bit shorter in overall length, but they get unwieldy real quick.

Skid plate done and painted
Repair done to the e brake , it was violated by my buddy's lift
Sorted some steering geometry
Replaced the axle in my other buddy's food truck
Rotated the tires and helicoiled the center cap bolts for the wheels.
Did some presto fixo to the vent tube/fuel cross over piping as it wasn't filling very nice at the pump.
Lemonade time

Must not be as hot as it is here today. I notched two tubes and got a haircut so far.
Was 96 here. Nothing like the ball-melting hot @bergerking had today.
Did toss up a tarp for shade. All my crap gets done outside
You've seen me. I eat
He's a scary azz Samoan-Filipino and makes lampua
And his wife's half Mexican. Food doesn't suckSo you have been holding out!
hit 119 here today. I got as far as stepping outside. Took a couple of pics and went back in the A/C.
Yeah that's brutal
Not much happened in the winter here other than gathering parts. Not a fan of 10* and 12" of snow
I need a 60x80 shop
You and me both...
