Will this cross member work with a NP208 Passenger Drop TC - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Just like the title says:

Will this cross member work with a NP208 Passenger Drop TC. Mine is basically straight across. Looking to gain clearance for the front driveshaft.

Vehicle is a 1983 K10 SM465 w/NP208

Please step up and help me. This should be an easy one.

Thanks,

Manny

hey there Manny. you should just modify your cross member like I did. cut out right below the driveshaft. I used a piece of 6" pipe cut in half lengthwise to brace it back up. You can kind of see it in this pic. I can get some better pics this weekend if I remember. I'll be at the summer crawl at Rausch. guess your not coming?

That's a crossmember for an 85up. It is for use with the 85up short style transfer case adapter that uses a car-like transmission mount instead of the 84down c-type transmission mount.

If I were you, I'd find a 85up transfer case adapter and build your own crossmember.
