The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Hard mounted 1941 1.5 Ton?

I'm not sure what you mean by "bushings between the flanges of the cross member that are still in place." My '46 cross member is one piece riveted to frame rails. It dips down in the middle. The bell housing has ears on it that stick out and bolt down to the cross member. There is rubber in the ears sticking off the bell housing.

The bell housing can not be attached solidly to the frame or you would quickly break something. Your frame flexes and moves as you go over bumps. The rubber also isolates vibration from the engine and transmission.

I will try to go out and get some pictures of my truck a little later.
