Aftermarket Engine crossmember ?

[72MARIO]

I am looking at converting my 68 longhorn frame to a 4wd. Plans were to build a Cummins Driveline but the long term cost comparison and simplicity of repair keeps going back to a gas truck. I need to be able to fix it quickly. The working season is short for reroofing here in Ontario so I can't wait 2 weeks for non stocked parts.

So what I have decided to build is a gas 4x4. I am looking for options on engine and transmission crossmembers. Are there any company's that custom make one ?

I am planning on building a big block with a 4L80 attached to a 205 case. I have been offered a 3/4 ton Dana 44 supppsto be a " military" Axel. Whatever that means.... Thicker tubing anyone have experience with them ?

The truck will be used for my roofing business I only will be using 4wd to crawl up steep driveways towing a 6000lb trailer .

Any help or input on what I should be using is appriciated. This it the body that will be used on the completed frame.

This is the 468 parts truck. Going to donate its engine hydro boost brakes and rear sway bar. To bad it was not 4wd

Only crossmember i know of is http://diy4x.com/cart/index.php?rout...&product_id=80 as far as a military dana 44 that's just made up stuff people believe.With a big block and weight you need to pull i would look more in to 1ton running gear for it.

Diy4x as stated, ord and tna unfortunately your year is the problem nobody has a listed crossmember for the year diy4x starts at 69 you could call or email all 3 and ask them about it though.
