Howdy folks. I hang out over at the '67-72 board but I picked this '62 lwb (I think) frame up at my local salvage yard today and I have a couple of questions. It's a really nice frame but from doing a little reading it seems like it isn't the most popular style because of the torsion bars and Xmember. I see where the later front cross member will swap in without too much problem. I guess the first question is does anyone have any idea what the trans mount is? It looks like an aftermarket or modified later mount to me. Do you think the frame is a sell-able item or should I just strip off the stuff I might be able to use and take it back over to the yard. Any input would be appreciated.

Oh, and the piece of bent metal laying on the frame is just an extra piece that was with it.
