aftermarket transmission crossmembers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'd like to hear good and bad comments about aftermarket trans crossmembers for 82 C10 with TH350.

As you can see, my headers tuck up pretty tight, so a crossmember that lets me run both pipes above it would probably work best.

I have a tejas steel works crossmember and i love it. It weighs virtually nothing and it has welds that are a work of art.

Yes, the IFS unit is very nice looking, but pricey for my semi-beater truck.

I should measure the distance between my collectors, and their height relative to the frame rails, and then get crossmember dimensions from IFS.

Just noticed the Tejas crossmember. Will have to check it out.
