Hi guys, my 97 frame doesn't have the smiley face for trans/yoke clearence. does any of you have your frame handy to measure the length and width of that portion of frame. its the center of the x-member. thanks ed

I guess I'm unsure of what your needing. I can try to get it if I know what to look for.

Larry, I have used your pictures as a reference, thanks. the portion of frame i need measured is rite under the trans at the yoke, its the depression in the x member. i need the width of the depression and the length so i can pre-cut the parts before cutting the frame. thanks ed

You might want to call Barry McGill, for the life of me I do not know what you need. Barry McGill can be reached at 417-472-7848. I am sure he will know exactly what you are talking about.

It's 4 3/4" - 4 7/8" long, front to rear, and 1 1/4" down on the inside. It's a section of a piece of pipe.


Added: That's down from the X bracing that is made of 2X3, that is flush with the bottom of the 2x4 frame. Making the X member 1" lower than the top of the 4" frame. In case you need the length of X members where it attaches to the frame, it is 19" long point to long point.

So with the 1 1/4" plus the 2x3 being 1" down it gives you 2 1/4" from the top of the 2x4 frame for the .
