trans x-member 85 custom cruiser CNY

I am looking for a TH350 transmission crossmember for my 85 Custom Cruiser. I swapped out the 200r4 for a th350, and would like the proper crossmember instead of the piece i fabbed up. Mine works, but for how long?
I am in the CNY area.
Thanks!!

I have a dual exh x- member but unsure if its what you need (it isn't 68-72, nor 73-77) but about 49" c-c on mounting holes. Can get a pic w/ tape measure for comparison. Or do you have dimensions? Thanks, Brett

None of these 80's full size cars came with a dual exhaust x member. You have to mod them yourself. I believe they do measure about 49" though. So yours could be from a 90's 9c1 caprice with the 700r4.

It looks like a 67-69 Camaro or Nova to me. The bolt holes on the sides are pretty wide.

Paladin, I believe that you are correct; that looks like an A body convertible crossmember. It's too long for an F body.

You're probably right. It definitely looks different than the hardtop cars though.
