I'm at work now and fixing to go finish the cross member. Here are some shots of what we did with the brackets, and the newly painted front axle.
Painted them with some rustoleum Safety Red. I like it! It isn't quite so extreme under the truck. Looks really loud in these photos.
I also painted the front axle housing and the cross memeber, which I'll share when I'm done with it tonight.
And then get some pics if it all in place under the truck, along with the CV joint angles.
