These pictures are from RockDrillers build and it is a great one too. Here is a link to it.

...and the photos of the support rods and how they are used. Maybe it was something added in later year's production or just for the Turbo 400?. I had seen the adapters before for sale but never with the support rods included. Perhaps someone else here will add more information about when they came into use.
Thanks for the compliment.
I just opened up that link and went through it.
I need to get back into feeding that thread.
To be honest, I need to pull the tranny pretty quick and I sure aint looking forward to it. I'll record it for all to see. It's liable to end up quite interesting.
As far as the automatic adapter hardware, the 351 that it came with came out of a'67 two wheel drive . And I am curious what the cross member looked like. I had to do some fab work to get those gussets to clear mine.
I wonder if someone knows if you could order the BB V-6 with an automatic in a K series truck in '67...?
I'll bet one of you knows that answer.
