trans xmember braces needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need the diagonal braces that go from the top of the frame rail down to the xmember. Seems that they were left off after a trans swap at some point in the truck's previous life. I have no idea what the part numbers are, or what other year/models may fit. My truck is a '77 LWB with a factory 454, TH400 transmission and dual exhaust. Here is a pic of the xmember with red lines representing the braces I need.

If you have a set for sale, please let me know.

Thanks Slammed, but I was hoping to find a set close to Houston to avoid shipping. Guess I'll take a trip to the recycle yard and see what I find.

TTT

I'm still looking for these. Went to 3 junk yards today and nadda. I am assuming I need them from a truck with a TH400 and the dual exhaust crossmember. Or can someone tell me if the ones from a single exhaust crossmember will bolt on?? I did find a few of those, but I'd have to rob two trucks.

If you use the passenger side braces from the single exhaust x-member it should work fine.
