The Mod to the Cross Brace
In order to get the Getrag 5 Speed trans that is currently
attached to my Cummins 5.9 I had to cut the cross brace that is riveted to the
frame rails right where the steering box is bolted. 1 minute with the plasma
cutter and we had a notch. Once the engine and trans are in place there is
plenty of clearance but notching the cross member was easier than cutting the
rivets and bolting the whole thing back in. Fill pieces were cut and about 3 minutes
with the mig welder and everything was good to go.
