Transmission Crossmember Qustion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have seen alot of discussion about the different tranny cross members, and something just occured to me today when I was under my truck today.

With the I6 and 3 speed manual, is there a cross member under the tranny? Mine looks like it has a place for a mount on the rear portion of the tranny, but it is not in use...nor does it look like there ever was one in this truck. I see plenty of holes to mount them in the frame, but there is nothing under the tranyy.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think a tran c/m is used on a 3 or 4- speed. My 69 came with a 307, 3- speed no c/m on it.The frames come with holes so any trans could be installed on the line when built.

That is correct,the stick trucks had the crossmember under the bell, but not under the trans......
