np205 cross member

[jordanblea]

Hello all, just recently swapped a t221 tcase for np205 (69 k10), we were able to make the t221 cross member work for now but the cross member is in the way of the front drive line. We can modify the cross member but it might take more cutting than I want to take from it. I have been told 70-77 and 84+ year cross members will work for this np205. I have had a hard time locating one but came across a 83 cross member at the wrecker. Will this work with slight mods or what's the deal there if anyone knows. We can cut and drill the holes if needed, just would love to be able to use the 83 if it'll work. Thanks for any insight and input.

So I guess I heard wrong on the 84+, just talked with him and he said 84 and older, can anyone confirm this? Thank you.

I think the crossmember might work i know the 67-72 and 73-87 frames share a lot of things like the whole front suspension.I would measure both crossmembers see if they are same size and if they are try it and see.
