Lot of stuff going on on a Friday night. The weekends are usually a little slow anyway. There are six cross members in a coil spring truck, so a little more info would be nice. LockDoc

Assuming an auto trans mount x-member, the slant goes towards the rear

You lost me at angle. The rear wall of the cross member has holes in it for the E-brake cable brackets.

Re: Help. Which way does the slant go???
Those corners incline toward the front inside. But like I say, the rear of the cross member has two holes for the E-brake cable brackets.
