    I, too, would be interested in purchasing that crossmember from you. Or pay you to build one exactly like it. The PO of my van welded a chain to each framerail and ran a bolt thru it to the tranny. I don't feel safe driving this way, but i can't weld. Would you reconsider building more of those?

    There are a lot of different types of crossmembers that people invented to install a different transmission in their vans,,,,,this one is pretty simple to put in and CHEAP,,,,,,,the last time I used one was to install a 3 speed overdrive transmission in Devimaus 2nd gen....seems like 1 size fits all,,,,,,

    Here in the south 3rd Gen vans are hard to come by for parts these days. All of the junkyards in my area was full of them until the price of scrap metal went up. They all started crushing & selling them for scrap when it got up so high.
