Bill,
Thanks for the input. I think you're right about not trusting the side mounts - I would've made 'em different and probably will some day. Thanks for the pic by the way, the hole in the crossmember near the extensions is what the front mounts are in on mine. I think the reason they did it this way is because of the sm465/np 205 trans and transfer case combo for the 4wd. The trans crossmember is, I'm sure, from the donor truck. So, this maybe a dumb question, but if some is good why is more not better? I'm thinking that in the future I may put in a conversion mount like that from Brothers or Chevy Duty and loose the front mounts entirely. I will say that having no crossmember under the oil pan is kinda handy tho....
Today I'm hoping to get the truck back from the gear shop, with new ring and pinion in the front axle!!
Thanks again for the input
Jeff
