Is there any interchangeably with other body styles frame rails torsion bar mounts and transmission x piece. I would like to use a commercial doubler plate like those made by auto rust technicians. However there are none available, other alternatives are plate fab or Donner cars. Hope this is posted in the correct place

Had the torsion bar anchor that was ripped out of the frame welded into a hole I torched through the plate (I couldn't weld at the time). Then drilled 2 holes to match the trans cross member bolt location. Bolted it in, drove that car a long time like that. Doug

Hope this is posted in the correct place Can you find out how much different the other model Auto Rust Tech mounts are from what you need for the C-body? I have some E-body Auto Rust Tech torsion bar mount caps out in the garage if you need some dimensions. It may just need a cut and a new piece spliced in to make it work. Not ideal, but potentially an option nonetheless. 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]
