can someone send me a picture of where the carrier bearing mounts? I did a conversion and do not have the location of the mount point.

There should be a bracket riveted to the X member. Sorry no pic.

I have seen them mounted in 2 different locations...one on the inside bottom of the x-member (as John described), and one similar to the pic you have posted, hanging on a bracket off the back of the x-member. I will see if I can dig up a pic, if not, I am sure someone else has the info/pics.

Thank you very much gcburdic. That helps a bunch. Now I just have to get my hand on one of those brackets. Also have get the driveshaft cut down a couple inches and I think I'll be in good shape.

72 Longbed frame

sleepertruck72 is parting out a frame. Looks like the mount is still on it.
