That is all I have. A stock crossmember. I think people get unnecessarily carried away with doubler cross members.

Does yours have any provision for support under the rear case?
 
@bent72 don't forget that I told you yesterday on the phone how the one that I have here, which was installed by ORD just has 2 factory crossmembers under the cases.
Just in case your memory slips.....more....

Just considering options. And bite me
 
I've got a setup somewhere that came off a truck I parted out where they used two factory crossmembers and a homemade(I'm guessing) steel skid plate under a 205 tcase. I need to dig it out and see if it will work for my 208 on my blazer instead of the crappy aluminum one it has. I'm worried that I will drop it on a rock someday and crater it. I would just go the simple route like @82355 suggested and get it going.

early days of gm trucks our vintage you could get factory skid plate . 2 crossmembers and a thick plate between the 2 . and a set of L-brackets on the rear one if it was a short bed or blazer to hold the 2nd crossmember .

I'm thinking maybe I've seen that setup on my father-in-law's 75 K5.

I see...I believe it came off a '76 3/4 ton longbed. thanks for the info.
 
So that's your way of saying we can crap up your thread for the next couple of weeks while you move into your new digs..?
 
Not going to pull the tranny until we are done moving. If something doesn't work right, I don't want to have to figure out how to move it.

I do need to change the alternator, and will probably put the larger throttle body on it before we move

Appreciate it, but think I'll stick with this plan. Already have 2 weekends tied up in April, and the garage is full of boxes already.

Moving the first weekend of May. Its going to have to be a truck and move stuff
