55 1/2 ton - 265 - 350 trany

Have vibration in truck after about 25mph. Took to shop, they said that there needs to be another engine/bell housing bracket. Said I'm getting a twist/bind between the engine,tranny,driveshaft and universal joint. There is only the front engine brackets and a handmade bracket across the back of the tranny. The 350 is shorter than the original tranny, so the driveshaft is too short. I pulled the driveshaft today to have retubed longer. Now I need a bracket in the bellhousing area to help support.

Anybody know of a bracket being sold? Or any other advice on this issue? see picts Engine Trany mount
