Thanks guys, this is not the original frame that was under the pu when I got it. This was a long box pu and I was lucky and easily found a short box frame near my place. The cross-member was gone when I got it, I put in the tube engine mount and was planning to drive it with the I beam axle 20+ years ago.
Ogre, really good pictures, I am planning to box the frame when I take the cab off and the way you built your cross-member/ trans mount looks really strong. The removable center piece is a great idea. I will have this cross-member in mind when I get an engine and trans and start putting them in. Norm
