Do I remove this crossmember???

I am putting a 350 auto in my '64. I know I need to remove the stock crossmember that the original 3 speed manual bolted too, but what about the cross member that all the emergency brake cables bolt too? And, if I remove it, what do I do about e-brake cables?? Thanks, Jared

Re: Do I remove this crossmember???

I had a 63 c10 and now I have a 64. My first didn't have the cross member in it when I got it, and I removed the one from my 64. I don't plan on putting it back in. As far as the original goes, I never cared for how the e-brake cables were run. I'm going with an aftermarket setup that runs along side the frame rail. Just my .02

on my 63 it won't fit back around the transmission mount, so I am going to look into using one out of a 66 or later

Please elaborate, I'm curious on what you are going to use, as I am in your shoes right now.
