I didn't answer the poll because I'm not sure the stock crossmember mounting fits any of those.  I have seen a lot of pictures that leads me to believe that my '83 c10 has a very common crossmember mounting.  The driver's side goes under the frame and up the outside, bolting underneath and through the side.  The passenger side rests on the bottom of the frame rail and bolts through the bottom.  There is a bolted on "wing" that goes under the top part of the frame and bolts on there.
Your truck is a 4x4, right?  Was that what you intended the poll to be for?

I don't see a poll.
I guess it's a Tapatalk thing?

All I know is the the crossmember on my suburban is below the tail in the transmission and stretches between the frame rails. I've never looked at it close enough to know how it's attached.

was talking to my buddy and he said all the 4x4s he seen where resting inside the frame rail. maybe this is more of a transmission deal?
