Steering Box Won't Bolt Up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought a bunch of parts that are bolted together and loosely resemble a 1968 C10. It has what is supposed to be a 1968 frame, and I assume a 1968 front cross member. However, the manual gear box will not bolt up to the frame. I can get one bolt in, but then the others don't line up. The steering box doesn't look like I remember from my previous truck, but I don't have one to compare to. Is this the wrong box?

Also, any suggestions on how to identify the front crossmember?
