hmm, maybe its a terminology thing...


ive looked through the gmheritage center docs and the frames from 1947 right through to after 54 look the same (regarding transmission crossmember)

the frames all have what gm calls an `engine rear support` cross member (see frame 70)

http://gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm...hevrolet-Trucks/1949-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf


the design of this crossmember was changed a little in 1954 to solve some member cracking issues but otherwise the member apears to have always been there.... or am i missing something??

but theres many a post here talking about removing it or not having it so i assume this is to accomodate different engines/transmissions fron stock?

..im just getting more and more confused lol!
