Here is what I did on a '49 and a '50 3100 (see pic). This gives transmission clearance and a way to remove the transmission when you forget to put the giant snap rings in the right place while your wife was yelling at you because her dog ate my sandwich off of the kitchen table and now got outside and in the road because she felt that she had to yell at me right away. For the rear transmission mount I used the original bolt-on torque tube crossmember by sliding it to the rear about 4 inches and drilled new holes in the frame. Aftermarket cross members? We don't need no stinking aftermarket cross members.
