Best Mustang II Crossmember

OK who has the best Mustang II crossmember for a 60 F100? Heidts don't make one. CPP has one but is made by someone else. I've heard bad things about Fatman. So who has used a good one they are happy with. By the way I'm using tubular arms.

Did you try Total Cost Involved (TCI) in California? They sell a lot of Mustang II IFS units but don't know if they have one for the '60.

Yes, I'm trying to sell parts. But, our No Limit Wide-Ride Ifs is really good. It is based on a camaro spindle and a late T-bird rack. It is way more heavy duty than any mustang II. The base kit comes with 5" stroke billit coil overs, power rack, 11" brakes, sway bar and boxing plates. - All standard. List is 2495.00 Check it out at nolimit.net

Jim Weimer Rod Garage. I really liked talking to them and the product went in nice. One of the best prices out there and they widen the track correctly. There's pics in my gallary.

Anybody use a crossmember from Street Rod Engineering in Prescott AZ? I talked to them and the one they make sounds pretty good. I guess they all sound good until you get it and have problems.

Mixup-

Another one to check out for the 60 is Industrial Chassis, Inc. in Phoenix. I have heard good things about them. I also toured their shop during the Goodguys show a couple of years ago and was impressed by the work they were doing. They sell and install IFS and several other chassis components.

I just bought a whole frame and suspension from TCI. If you decide to buy from them, you'd better make sure their trucking company delivers to your place. Otherwise, they get it close to your place and then tell you to come and get it. After two weeks of "negotiations" they finally did what I had paid to be done-delivered it to me. Besides not knowing if I'd finally get it after 2 months, I think I like it.

i used a crossmember kit from McGyver's here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

the quality and fit and finish of the product was top notch. very thick metal and very nice welds. custom made for my 60 Ford (he actually said it was very close to the same as the 56 kits he sells). very good instructions also included.

might be to far away for you and all that cross border stuff, but if nothing else pans out, they are an option for you. Unforetunetly the Cdn $ is getting stronger, so not as much of a price advantage for you guys as in te past.
