Crossmember std vs. auto tranny

I have 1987 2wd r10, I'm converting from manual 3spd to th350! Is the crossmember the same? Do I need to find a one off of auto truck?

Re: Crossmember std vs. auto tranny

Didn't think you could get a manual 3 speed in 87. Is it three on the column? Or do you have a 3+creeper or 3+OD?

Either way I belive the crossmanbers are different. On the good side there should be a ton of those in the yards.
