If the transmission mount actually works, it’s probably worth more than everything else. It does not appear to be original, so it’s unclear if it would position the transmission correctly. I’ve only seen two styles of original 60-62 automatic transmission crossmembers. One is flat across the top and the other has a drop in the center as shown in the following examples. They also came in two lengths, presumably for long or short bed. The first one in the photo had to be sectioned to fit my short bed chassis. And both styles bolt to the frame in a crescent shaped pattern. If the one on your chassis attaches in this manner it could be a third version I’ve never seen before:

The motor mount towers appear to be from a 67-72, and won’t fit to the engine correctly as shown. The upper end bolted to the frame requires a 1” spacer between the frame and the tower to match the height of the 63-72 frame. The lower bolts may need to be moved once the upper end is raised into the required position.

If you’re interested in parting it out, the trailing arms appear to be in excellent condition, and the steering box might be worth something if it’s in functional condition.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Thanks for that information. I haven't checked the steering box out. I will do that in the morning also.
