Yep. I agree. I bought the 2x3 rectangle stock 21 ft long. Made a fully boxed lower radiator support out of it, 2 subframe connectors out of it, and still have 8ft left. Spent about $35. Budar, mine will have that same pass through your talking about. I am also rerouting my parking brake cable with 2 new holes through the torsion bar crossmember to line the cable up inboard of the subframe connector to run right inline with the rear floorpan cable fairlead. Cable pix are how I routed it on my 67. Will be doing the same on the 69.
