I am about to install my 465/203/205. I decided not to clock it, so the front output is in it's normal position. Anyone got any pictures of crossmembers they fabbed up I could take a look at?

Looking good! I decided not to clock mine up because I want to keep my pinion angle coming off the my front axle good. I am thinking about making a full tube crossmember. My issue right now is that I am running a 208 adapter between my 465 and 203 and it is 5 inches higher than the adapter between the 203 and 205. Keep me updated on your crossmember.
I clocked mine up 3", doesn't really hurt the front driveline angle because with the doubler that just got a fair chunk longer. My front driveline is about 40", and even clocked I'm able to run 1410's at both ends without any trouble.

Jay, by "flat" crossmember you're talking about one from a 1 ton, right? that's what it looks like but I wanted to be sure.

Oh really
. Well I went the long route when putting the doubler in too. I gained I believe 9" or so and I also moved my front axle forward 3" in the process of putting my 52's up front. I will have to mock it up and see how it looks. Thanks for the input!!
this is not my fabing it is the old 4x4 iron = i love this brace but it is my rig
take a look

yeah mine is a 1 ton but you could use the front section of a 203 crossmemeber out of a blazer...actually i would suggest that over the 1 ton because of the narowness

That is awesome!!
Can you measure the drop from the bottom of the frame to the mounting surface on that and post it?
i will but i keep the truck in a storage yard theas days an i cut the floor out to get a tighter fit then i did the th400 -- 700 in pic
I have the truck on hand now, but am about to drop the tranny and doubler...so if you want measurements or better pic's the time would be soon.

So, are you running the 208 adapter in between your 465/203?
No...this is my set-up:
NV4500/203/205 using the NWF kit, range box and built 205.
It's pretty long too, so it's probably relevant. It's 48" from the face of the bellhousing at the motor to the rear output.

Thanks...took me quite a while to get it all together. Now it's going in my '87 Crew Cab.

I'm patiently awaiting
If I understand the measurement you want...the top of the mount for the doubler adaptor is 1/2" below the bottom of the frame rail.
Unless you have a NV4500 the front mount isn't relevant.
