Pics and Measurements Needed Please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have pics of the engine cradle (cross-member) on a '82 or so truck, blazer, or burb? Also, could anyone give me the measurement between frame rails ( where the cradle mounts ) on these vehicles? Do the 2wd and the 4wd use the same cradle and do the gas and diesels use the same cradle? Please help. thanks

As far as I know the 2 wheel drives all used the same cradle, basically unchanged from 73-87 (67-72 model years are similar with slight differences, but they will interchange with the newer ones with slight mods). I am at work right now or I could get you some pics with measurements, I just disassembled a 80 and can get pics tomorrow.

Gas and Diesel are the same.

4x4 and 2wd are different.
