Hey guy's

I am doing an engine and trany swap in my 63 C20, and i am having trouble finding the cross member that the bell housing sits on. Does anybody know of an after market setup? My only other ideas are to search junk yards or make one myself. Any thoughts are much appriciated. Thanks

usually those don't go missing unless someone has installed an a/t. no one takes them out just for an exercise. how come yours is missing?

I removed my blown two speed powerglide and am replacing it with a SM420 top loader. The truck was originaly an automatic. The holes in the frame are there to add the one i need but its been hard to find

jarkill · 11-08-2010, 04:13 PM

I'll check this morning ...

jarkill · 11-09-2010, 11:56 AM

I'm in Monroe WA. With the rest of the hill billies, Where are you located?

**tazattitude** · 11-10-2010, 09:54 AM

I believe this is what you are talking about?
I just took this out on Sat.
This was on my frame when I had it sandblasted and powdercoated.
So it's all clean and ready to bolt in.

If it is, I'd be interested in selling, but I live in FL.
So shipping alone would probably be about $100.

jarkill · 11-10-2010, 10:25 AM

Yup! Thats what i need. I found a guy about ten miles from me that has a couple. Thanks for the help though i do appriciate it

**tazattitude** · 11-10-2010, 11:22 AM

Not a problem!
