3/4 ton crossmember
This is my first post, so please bear with me.
I am getting ready to convert my th400 to a 700r4 from bowtie overdrives. I am going to order their full kit including the crossmember. I need to know if the crossmember from a 1/2 ton is the same in a 3/4 ton. My truck is a 71 c20 big block 2wd. The crossmember in it is the low style with the e-brake cable routed on the back of it. The crossmember that they sell is designed for a 1/2 ton truck and the guy wasn't sure if it would fit my application. Sorry for such a long post and thanks for any help you can give. |

Re: 3/4 ton crossmember
Well sir, today might be your lucky day!***edited by moderator*** I'll see if I've still got the paperwork, and see if it was the high mount, or low mount....

Re: 3/4 ton crossmember
yes, the tranny cross member is the same between 10 and 20 series.
Hey guys... I haven't messed with a 700 in years, but is a replacement cross member actually needed? Last edited by Longhorn Man; 03-15-2007 at 01:24 PM. |

Re: 3/4 ton crossmember
I vote to use your existing crossmember also. Slide it back. When I put my T400/BBC in I think 6 of the holes lined up. I never have installed the other 2. Did that back in 1993.
Great transmission and good company. Get everything else but the crossmember.

Re: 3/4 ton crossmember
Sorry 'bout that krue...just a leftover part collecting dust... Bowtie Overdrives should be able to tell which one is needed...thats why they make the high mount and the low mount x-members in the first place. Ask for Mandy, if she still works there, she'll be able to look it up for you.
