My upper arms are connected to a cross member not to the trunk floor. What X frame has the upper arm connected to the trunk floor?Yah I should have quoted 58 delivery, my bad!!
That's what I'd like to know? Come on 58 delivery ,tell us!!!!!My upper arms are connected to a cross member not to the trunk floor. What X frame has the upper arm connected to the trunk floor?
I thought the arm was spot welded to the trunk on an old 60 Impala, if not why did it rip off?
My 63 frame was cracked also in the area where the upper arm is attached. The guy that sand blasted it noticed it . That happens when a lot of hard racing is done. An extra arm is put on opposite side of differential to strengthen and reduce the fatigue on just one side. Don't know if 409 cars came with extra arm?My upper arms are connected to a cross member not to the trunk floor. What X frame has the upper arm connected to the trunk floor?
I check mine before the start of every season.My 63 frame was cracked also in the area where the upper arm is attached. The guy that sand blasted it noticed it .

Don't you mean the frame anchor, not body?I ripped mine out of the body anchor spot on my 63....327/3 speed. Kind of a weak anchor. That took the brakes out and I drove over 60 miles home without them. That's why I remember the tranny wasn't synchronized in first gear. Had to plan WAY ahead to stop. Luckily it was mostly country.

Dave, look at your 64, it is the very same frame . The convertible frame I believe had some extra bracing else where ,but as far as the upper control arm mounting to frame was the same. Some one can probably describe the other convertible bracing as I am not real sure where.
Never saw one riveted. They are used to set pinion angle also. For this reason they are usually bolted.Ok, now I remember the cross member piece Ray is speaking of and what you are talking bout Don. . It was probably riveted to the frame. It wasn't thick enough to take much beating. Maybe because my vert was heavier it didn't last??
