1952-59 Ford Cross members 1954-56

I ran across this over at Fordbarn,as I reported recently Goodell Fabrications that made the replacements had closed up shop it has now come to light that the owner has p***ed away. https://www.brownfamilycares.com/obituaries/Gary-Wade-Goodell?obId=4219302 We do have the blue prints in the " Sticky FAQ " if you can weld them up,I had reached out to members that have done them to see if they wanted to make them but so far no luck.

 

Awesome, Jeff!

 

Sorry to hear of his p***ing.

I have one of his crossmembers. It was a reasonably priced option while he was making them. It would be hard to make them and sell them cheaper than Red did.

 

Jeff
Could you post a link to the cross member b;blueprint? I used the search and couldn't find it

 

The last of them that Red sold on Ebay last fall were going for $299.

 

There is a new vendor for the crossmember. I think its TBird products.

 

The 54 is different from the 55/56.

 

$350 @ TBird Products

 

Did you call them to verify ? Tee-Bird Products online catalog is a pdf from 2012. https://s3.amazonaws.com/wix-anyfile/5yHAnjtkTbqXumEEMMOC_Tee-Bird Products 2012 catalog.pdf

It is listed on page 18 at that time they were probably getting them from Goodell.

 

It was posted on Facebook. I think in the 55-56 Ford lovers group. I'll see if I can find it.

 

TBird Products confirmed Crossmember availability @ $395

 

Thanks! Had my doubts, good news.

 

I think Mercury is also a little different. Maybe just the bolt dia.

 

This guy has been making them on demand for years call 1 (919) 471-8942 for less.

 

Are either of the cross members OE looking like the Goodell units? It doesn't matter to me but to some it may.

 

I've not seen them some of the guys in one of the Facebook Ford groups p***ed this along to me.
