I was waiting to see a pic of that th350 brace again. I never ever see them on trucks up here. They all must have got thrown away in their early life. My k10 looks totally unmolested and owned by an older gentleman and that rod was still gone off my truck. My buddy has one that he uses for a fireplace poker. I tried to buy it off him a few times but I figured I lived this long without it I can keep on living without it. It looks like a pia to get the bellhousing bolt started anyway. I drive fast on rough roads and haven't broke a tranny yet. I don't think the trans will break unless you are catching too much air.

That 2nd crossmember in ingenius. I may look into that.
