Thanks for the post. I was aware that there were different cross members. What confounds me (still) on this was that we used a matched set (cross member, transmission, transfer case, transfer case adapter). All came from the same 1970 that they left the factory with. The variables were the 1969 St Louis frame, the 1969 Fremont cab, new cab mounts and new "transmission" mounts. And we did in fact clear, but it just seemed too tight. The transfer case frame mount was moved back 1-7/8" to adjust for the NP205, but it's correctly positioned as low as it can go on the frame rail. The shims may not be necessary, but they're not visually a problem and I like having a little space there.
