I have a crossmember from an unknown Dodge later truck in my 75 D100, it bolts in. I suspect it's from a 90-95 ish truck. Clears my 518 with everything together. I need the bracket to attach it all. I'm figuring there's a factory bracket for the mount that bolts in the cast bolt bosses in the trans? Anyone have knowledge of bolt in parts?
 
There is one in there, kinda flatish. After putting that trans in my 73 and fighting with cross-member issues I think you can use the factory cross-member with the original trans mount reversed. (leans back instead of forward). There's not much difference in that mounting point.

Halfway. Three bolt pattern matches the trans, but that single bolt will need something else to match the crossmember I have.
 
I'm aware. It's similar to the 75 2WD 727 mount. I'm not sure if it works with the later crossmember I have. It bolts in the same as the 727 original one, aside from the right side brace. The original 727 crossmember doesn't clear a 518 in the park rod section of the casting. I'd like to find a good pic of a 518 2WD factory 90-94 truck.
