Which way does it go in??????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going to assemble my frame this week end. I noticed that the auto transmission cross member slants downward in the middle where the transmission mount attaches. So does it slant downward towards the motor or towards the rear end?

I would have posted a pic, but the wife took the camera out of town.

Thanks

is it just me, or is the mount i that pic missing a piece? I really don't think it's me for a change.

oh yea lol, the mount is on the trans in the garage, i'll take a look.

ok i got it, and i got my white shirt dirty so if this doesn't answer it i'll be mad.

i still say sloping down towards rear.

Mine slopes to the rear.

Yah, your right. The two hole to the right on the trans mount location are on the high edge. There is a single hole in the middle on the low edge. So the down slope points to the rear end. Thanks for everyone's help.
