I can post the link to the how-to article once Network Solutions fixes their screw-up in taking my Domain down and expiring it even though I renewed it to 2018....

BTW we also sell chopped crossmmebers for $575 with a supplied core

Thank you it will be greatly appreciated. can you notify me when you repost it? thanks for your help. on that one you make does it bolt back in? cuz i seen a few welded back in with the top spring pockets cut off and they installed bag mounts in its place.

It is a complete bolt in job. 

Here is one I did for a customer on 67-72chevytrucks.com.  See the post by XXL, those are his crossmember that I chopped.
