The big difference is the '60-'62 frames have the big 'X' in the middle whereas the '63 and up don't. So to use a '63 and up trans crossmember in a '60-'62 frame, it will need to be cut down considerably.

Here's a link showing what the factory 60-62 automatic trans crossmember looks like. Knowing where it goes might help in fabricating a replacement. They also show up on ebay every now and then.
