In an earlier post here, it was mentioned that the trans was supported with the bell housing. Now I am totally confused. Must be different years or applications. The pictured truck looks sweet. Very nice install there. I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

The other crossmember is used to support the automatic transmission. Here is a 63 manual transmission frame for comparison. 7801989-kevstruckframe.jpeg (95 downloads) 1970 Dodge d100/eventually going on a 77 D100 frame

Will attach a pic of the trans member. Just need to locate a yoke now and we will be in business. Oh yeah we have lowered the truck about 6" as well 7817719-crossemmber.jpg (113 downloads) "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"
