torsion bar cross member

Here is an interesting tidbit that won't be surprising to many: The torsion bar pockets are horribly welded. A little known trick is to cut the floor away and access the crossmember from the topside/inside, weld the torsion bar anchor from inside the crossmember as well as the exterior of it. Simply replace the piece of flooring you removed when your done rehabbing the t-bar anchor. Kit Car A-body racers were known to run C-body bars and would have to weld in C-body sockets, all four sides of the crossmember.
