    Gee, that looks different than my SWB cross member. Is mine wrong?

    the photograph is poorly angled and the label ("SWB cross member" is too vague). the '68 cross member is very different from the 65-67 cross member. the most telling pieces are the strut extensions. in the 65-67 case, they are threaded extensions. in the '68 cae, the struts are flat steel, welded to the cross member.

    maybe we can find out which one it is.

    I personally removed this from a very early (square weave) 66 car.

    regardless of what car it came from, better photos would definitely help.

    if memory serves me, there are 2 different versions of the cross member -- 65-67 and 68+. the easiest distinction is the strut supports. in 65-67, the strut supports are threaded and round. in 68+, the supports are flat and welded-in. in addition, the end receivers for the a-arms are different (but it's more difficult to explain).

    Next to a 67 that I personally removed. These are identical, so 65-67. Whether it fits a 68 is the prospective buyers call and price drop to $249.99 + shipping & fees.

    "Prospective buyers call" seriously?
    You need to do a bit more research.
    So, will you refund the money to a "Prospective buyer" if he believes your BS description, buys the thing, and finds out that it won't fit his "SWB"?


    Warmest Regards
