[QUOTE="WHITE TRASH1, post: 1503686, member: 15951"] The difference is early or late. Early being 79-83 and late being 84-95. Crossmembers in the early trucks were narrower due to the trans being about 4" shorter so the crossmember mounted forward in the narrower part of the frame. Later trannies were longer so the crossmember was back in the wider section. For what you are doing I'd HIGHLY recommend using the crossmember from Sky's off-road down in OR. 3/8" plate like everyone else but its built in 3 pieces, there are 2 plates that bolt to the frame using the stock mounting holes and the center plate that bolts on top of them. You can add spacers to go flat belly later if you like. It's a trick unit for sure. [/QUOTE]
