Gearbox crossmember

Post by ashthelast »

Currently doing chassis work on my pick up and I am a little confused about the gearbox crossmember.

Mine was a bolt on straight box section that fell to pieces when removed and I'm not sure it was right. Can't seem to find part numbers or reference to it in the parts catalogue - I have PDFs of these, just ping your email if you want a copy.

Would anyone have a pic of this and a part no for my reference?

Thanks Geoff, presuming that there is no need for the mounts etc on the military one?

As these people price their bolt-up cross member separately, I assume they sell them separately too:

I've just been out and looked under my vehicles, both of which have bolt-on gearbox cross members, and neither of them have any of those extra brackets/mounts; I don't know what they are/were for on the military vehicles.

I think the cross member is universal and those tabs are for the 4cyl gear boxes.
