here is an FYI ,

When I purchased my transmission from a local junk yard, the guy gave me a cross member to go with it, he said that it came from a full sized GM pick up from the 90's. I took it , thinking I probably wont use it because I was going to use your method that you had posted in your 'How To' thread, of cutting the S10 crossmember,

The cross member he gave me was a perfect fit to the S10 frame, I could not believe it.

I just welded angle iron to the inside of the frame, drilled 4 holes in the angle iron to match the crossmember, and I was done.

Thanks again for your instruction, always helpful
