After some research on the square body forums, it appears GM dropped the frame mounted T case torque mount assembly in the 70s due to cracking issues and went to a rod between the T case and one of the bell housing to block bolts. I found some pics of one and made a replica. This was a Corvair steering shaft, alternator bracket and hood hinge in a previous life. I think it came out ok, but time will tell. It makes sense to me in theory that it’s better not tugging on the frame in that area, but reinforced as a unit.
