    Is this tranny mount a custom fab or off the shelf? It's from a sweet 73 I found on the list and I kinda like the setup for mine if it will work. :?

    Looks like some grade 8 yellow zinc washers used as spacers.

    The frame-to-crossmember spacers are not factory. The cross-member and skid plate look original. The pack of washers between the crossmember and skid are not factory - I think there may have been spacers there, but I don't recall exactly.

    It looks like someone went washer crazy. Look under the tranny at the skidplate mount.
