K5 trans crossmember

Can someone post a picture of the correct transmission crossmember for a manual 4x4 70 k5? From my research I think I have a 73+ crossmember - is there much difference? Bought my k5 in pieces and I’m trying to make sense of some of them!

Maybe post a picture of what you have, and someone can help identify if it is correct.

I think the auto and the manual use the same crossmember. And that is not it. It must be from the newer model as you expect.

I know I have a better picture Just gotta find it
The manual crossmember attaches to the adapter between the transmission & tcase.

If this goes at the bellhousing what goes at the back of the trans/tcase?

My apologies I had 2wd in my brain while typing. This is a picture of where it is on my 72 with 3spd and dana 20. Not sure which setup you have for transmission & tcase.

That is the location I was expecting. I’m going to be running an nv4500/np241 from what I’ve seen online the stock crossmember will work - could require a spacer. Now I just need to find the crossmember.

Any suggestions on where to buy 1. Checked eBay and marketplace- no luck.

The parts board here. I looked at the trucks and BlazerSub area and did not see any current listings. Bet if you post a want to buy, one will be available. Joining the board to post there is pretty cheap.
