Was wondering if the stock crossmember with stock e-brake will work with the TH350 trans? Thanks for any help. did it have a powerglide in it before or a manual trans. if you are just talking about the emerg crossmember by itself, not it is not strong enough. if it had the powerglide crossmember in it then it is quite adequate and the emerg brake does connect unto it. I do have the stock a/trans crossmember ron | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2012 Posts: 4 | It had a powerglide in it behind a 305,,,pretty sure the 305 wasn't stock in this truck.

Not really sure what came in it from the factory though. you may have to move that crossmember a bit if the mount doesnt line up. there were several different lengths of tail housings on a T350. you would have to remove the rivets to the frame, drill new holes and bolt it in. ron | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 | Been using a stock one from a three speed manual with a turbo 350 300 hp 327 (recently installed a new 350) for 17 years now,not ruñing a E brake. this doesn't make sense. there was no rear trans mount on the orig 3 speed manual. the rear mounts would have been on the bell housing ron Perhaps he is talking about the emergency brake support cross member  .... which for sure isn't designed to be used as any kind of transmission support. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 40 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 40 | Been using a stock one from a three speed manual with a turbo 350 300 hp 327 (recently installed a new 350) for 17 years now,not ruñing a E brake. this doesn't make sense. there was no rear trans mount on the orig 3 speed manual. the rear mounts would have been on the bell housing ron Perhaps he is talking about the emergency brake support cross member .... which for sure isn't designed to be used as any kind of transmission support.
