Wait.

Thats a NP208?

Also, is the cross member a good or a bad thing?

Also, slow down youre blowing my mind. This may explain a few things.

Yep, it's a 208. Your t-case shifter probably has a little plastic console around it, correct?

yes

It would explain, why oh so long ago, I think you mentioned I shouldnt have that shifter housing in my truck based on the age. This would be like at least a year ago lol. i mentioned you in my thread on the topic if you have time to impart knowledge :)

I see.

Honestly, the easiest thing would be to look on eBay for that couple that sells chassis parts, buy the right part, turn your crossmember around and just bolt it on. I think it was Ray and Samantha. I got the missing crossmember for my spare tire mount from them. Nice to deal with.

You probably could fab one up, but I'd rather spend $40 for a bolt on solution. Time has value too.

Guess ill be cleaning the trans case I brought for parts that looked like it had been sitting in a lake.

Drove it! Haven't really been able to drive it in the last few weeks. However, it developed a tranny fluid leak on the way home but it was too hot to look at, so I backed her back in the garage and will investigate one night this week.

Thank you. I had to take the overload springs off but I added airbags so it should be about the same. Those pictures are with no air in the bags.
