Re: 65 crossmember

You do realize that a '63-'87 factory auto trans crossmember will work just fine, right?

Re: 65 crossmember

Yes you could cut the pieces off of your e-brake crossmember and either bolt or weld them to a newer factory trans crossmember. This is how the '63-'65 factory auto trans trucks were. Or you could convert your '65 to the '66-'72 e-brake assembly which does not use a crossmember at all.
