You can use a auto trans crossmember from a '63-'86 C series or '87-'91 R series truck, Suburban or 2wd K5 Blazer. You'll just have to drill the holes in the frame to bolt it in.

Thanks Capt. Thats kinda what I was also thinking. Unfortunately the closest pick & pull is about 2hr drive so I usually have resort to pre-made parts or fabbing them myself

Either way....it's getting a power upgrade stuffed in there
