Thanks Cab: I'm set up to pull trans mount back off now.
It looks like this is where my problem is- did any of these early dusters have an offset in them?

Bottom line, i may have to modify it or, fab one up that will allow me to mover everything over towards passenger side another 1/2 to 3/4 inch to get everything lined up properly.

If i knew how to post pics- I would.
