Re: Another stupid question, what is this?

any other stray brackets or out of place bolt holes in that area?

if it's not a typical part commonly found in your model, my swag would be a trans mount yoke for non-typical transmission or add-on brownie box of some kind, maybe even overdrive unit or pto support, something along those lines..

or driveshaft brake mounting bracket of some kind, also maybe aftermarket since it's kind of crude and simple in design..

if not any of those, I'm going with flux capacitor, used to be able to get them at O'Reilly's.. https://www.oreillyauto.com/flux-capacitor

good luck!
Luckily I took plenty of photos of the frame before I disassembled it. My truck is a mismosh of years, don't even know what year the frame is, 51-53?
