Rono was looking for a '55-'56 front cross member recently for his Ford. Ron has indicates that he has purchased a Goodall Fabrication piece that he's quite happy with for accomplishing the replacement work needed.
A used ORIGINAL cross member section was seen on eBay last night. It appears AND is described as being unusually pristine. The way the section was removed, you've got a couple of ways you could utilize to install it.
See eBay Motors and use the search function to see item 261776034914
Hope this helps someone.
