How does the crossmember for the ebrake work with an auto tranny? Do I need to get and install another crossmember for the tranny? Or does it use the ebrake crossmember? Does the ebrake set up need to be altered? If so how? | | |

The tranny sat on top of ebrake cross member. The steering was swaped out for a 70 pickup, it should have been shortened and inch or two. The drive shaft was a single piece shaft. Hope that helps.

It all bolted, nothing looked anything but GM parts. As I remember there may have been an extension, about 5 inches on the primary brake cable coming from the cab. All the other cables did not appear modified. The cross member could have been moved, maybe.
