he could front mount it like a stock 60-62 chev 4 x 4 as he would still have the b/housing mounting(3 points). the problem with that though is it uses the holes for a power steering pump if he want s to install p/s, which was not a stock option. with the use of the later c/member it makes it a lot simpler for p/s
the other point is the height of the early 4 x 4s is that they are not as high as the later ones, one perhaps may have to put a one " spacer(?) under the top part on either side of the frame using the 67-72 m/mount c/member.

this is what that 67-72 m/mount c/member looks like in a 64
