Question: My existing bell housing has frame mounts and I plan to reuse this bell but do most folks add an additional transmission mount to support the end of the transmission? If you add this mount do you eliminate the mounts at the bell?

Keep the original bell housing and cross member. I reused mine in both of my trucks. Here is a link that may help a lot.

Many opinions exist about adding another crossmember under the T5 tail housing. I’ve never heard a report of the T5 failing or breaking because they DID or DIDN’T use a crossmember under the tail housing (as long as you have one beneath the original bell). I don’t have any support under the tail housing in either of mine.
You will likely want to delete your park brake cross member (1963-65) and convert to a 1966 all cable park break. Here’s how . . .
