The cross member I removed can be seen in the assembly manual sect 7, sheet 3.05. Looks like there were 5 bolts each side. Manual implies that it was used for the automatic, but I'm guessing the the 3 speed might have used it too. Anyway, the truck came to me with the 4 speed and a torque tube. The only use for the cross member was it provided a place to rest the torque tube on when the engine/trans was removed. I bought a 1967 SM420 and replaced the old SM420 and torque tube with the "new" trans and open drive shaft.
