My 203 crossmembers are the flat style, no funny shapes. My old '77 had the factory skid plate, but used the same crossmember, except there was two of them.

I think I remember reading there is a slight difference in frame width between the 203 model years and the 80's models. Should work though with some hole drilling.

Hi Stacked78,

Here's a pic of the TH350/NP203 in dad's 77



You can see part of the forward crossmember in this pic. My 77 plow truck has the same thing. They're the flat style crossmembers like Andy described. Both these trucks have the skid plates like Andy mentioned too with a second (identical) crossmember mounted about a foot back to support the rear edge of the plate.

ok does anyone have any idea or know anyone or anywhere i can get one? cause i hit my local wreckin yard and called every guy i could think of and none of them have anything i can use? though i have aquired 2 crossmembers that have huge drops on the passenger side but they dont want to cooperate with what im doing
