trying to get this car out of storage and I need to put the cross member back in to it. Anyone know thread pitch and length to bolt the cross member to the body and the back of the A arms to the body? Also for the tow eyelet in the front. I can't search from my phone.

thanks XS. Any ideas on how to keep the tires straight to drag on to a trailer with no rack in it?

what I wound up doing is getting a 5 ft. piece of angle from ace. The kind with holes and slots already in it. Cut 6" off and then dropped bolts through it and tightened down. Worked great. While pulling on to the trailer the combination of no engine weight and the *** end down hill from the trailer let me steer it. I had just eyeballed the wheels on straight and to turn I just pushed on a tire. I was very pleased. I had been worried about the wheels just picking a direction reguardless of where I was winching but didn't happen.

also used a half inch eye bolt and washer for to tow hook.
