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.

The manual crossmember attaches to the adapter between the transmission & tcase.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

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.

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.
