Re: crossmember completed/radiator installed

in case anyone's wondering why the crossmember bar is towards the back of the shoulders holding it up, the frames of the earlier trucks (60-62 I believe) are drilled for a crossmember, 3 holes (. ' .) pattern similar to my illustration, in case the truck had a factory powerglide. So, I utilized the 1st and last pre-drilled holes in each side of the frame for the supports and the 700R4 mount on the trans puts the bar towards the back, but it still is plenty strong and should be fine. Utilizing these holes saved drilling any additional ones.
