What transmission crossmember for LS SWAP ?? 6L80e ..

I manufacture a cross member for '73-'87 C10s, but would need some info on your setup to determine if it will work. Hit me up on FB and I'll help you sort it out. I'm confident we can manage.

I went with porterbuilt's universal crossmember on my truck. I'm running a TH350 but I don't think you'd have an Issue with the 6L80. Main reason I went with it was so I could run my exhaust straight under the crossmember from the collectors.

did the porterbuilt one bolt right up or require welding? and what about the mount itself? i am having a impossible time because my 6l80e tranny has a tail end from a sts-v and the mount for the sts-v is way to big for my cross member to even accomodate so i pretty much need one with a drop in the middle at least a few inches and fabricate some sort of plate i imagine i dont know what to do mount wise,i wish i could worry about exhaust !! i am just having trouble now with crossmember and trying find headers that fit without any frame grinding or cuttting at all!! BUT what the heck this is what we signed up for this is part of the duty of building a truck!

can you post pics 83 swb of your underbody of truck if possible? do you have a build thread? anyways thanks for stopping in .

Scottybaccus what is fitment dependant on? what do you need to know in order to see if you have a piece for my application?

Drilled 4 holes, painted it, and bolted it right in, width was spot on.

If you can wait I'll post up a picture tomorrow.
