Hello, I recently purchase a pretty decent 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500hd, it's not perfect by any means. I'm working on fixing it up to be a daily driver. I have one rough spot on the frame right where the carrier bearing for the split drive shaft is. It seems to be attached to a cross member? Anyone know of any after market replacement crossmember? The rest of the frame is solid. Was told by a chevy dealer it is part of the frame but there is likely an aftermarket replacement. Just can't seem to find the name of it or where to get one. Can find the bearing easily. Thanks in advance for any useful info!

 

From your picture, it looks like you have significant rust on the frame.

 

nothing a clean up and patch wouldn't fix. Need the crossmember or a replacement after market crossmember.

 

that thing is a death trap. No patching can fix that.

 

thanks for your opinion.

 

I would have a frame specialty shop inspect the entire frame before investing any more time and money into your project.

Here's the PART I needed. Thanks everyone for the help finding it. Bunch a Richard craniums. I'll give y'all time to check the part out and delete my account here later. If i wanted opinions about my frame that's what I would have asked for. And crazy how you all assume i haven't had it assessed prior to coming here to get help with a PART. Ridiculous.
