Aftermarket Trans crossmember
I'm installing a TPI motor and 700R4 in my 70' C10 2wd Short. The stock crossmember just won't seem to go back in. I will be bagging my truck in the future so can you guys recommend an aftermarket crossmember to work?
Thanks. Any other tips for this install would be helpful. |

all i had to do was slide the motor foward about 1/4 inch...the holes in the motor mounts were elongated so this was not a problem.....and put my stock x-member in the th400 location...then everything bolted right up.

I used the stock one with my 700R in the 8 and 6 cyl position. You may have to drill new holes in the frame but it will work even with a bagged truck. The ECE or CPP and Brothers crossmembers are all the same. I have seen it in a local shop here looked good but why spen the money if yours will work ? Be sure to install the stocker with the slope back not towards the front.
