on the 68 half ton 2wd ,3on the tree, was there a rear tail housing cross member?? I'm asking because when I looked at mine today to remove it ,it only has the two mounts at the front of the bell housing holding it in. It looks like there's 2 bolt holes near rear tail housing were it would bolt down. If so wear would I look for one? thanks for your help guys!!

Do you have a pic? I had the same combo 40 years ago and don't recall.
Does the transmission have threaded holes to bolt up to a crossmember?

No crossmember on 3 speed trucks. Just the bolts into the bell housing holds it. The bolt holes for the rear is when the transmission is used in some cars

update on the front mounts, they use the k10 mounts for the bell housing to mount it to the frame. O'reilly parts # a2108 and a2107
