There are no aftermarket trans crossmembers either for the '60-'62 frames. I am currently working on reproducing the factory auto trans crossmembers for the '60-'62 short wheelbase frames, but I don't think it will work with a 700R4 unless you move the engine forward to compensate for the difference between a PG/TH350 and the 700R4.
Very nice Captain.
