NP205 frame mount issue
I'm restoring my 79 F250 4x4 reg. cab and am changing from C6 to the NP435. The drive line bolts up just fine, including the transmission mount. Problem is, I cannot bolt up the transfer case side mounts to the frame as there is no room for the bushings. If I use the standard bolt holes in the frame, the two plates almost touch. The transmission w/extension came out of a 79 Bronco. Could the transmission mount be not as tall as what is used on the pickup line? Can I just drill new frame holes and bolt as-is?

Thanks. The bellhousing, Np435, and tail extension is out of a 79 bronco. With that in mind, is the tail extension and crossmember common between the bronco and pickup? If either of those is different, then that is probably where the issue lies. I have the frame mounts in the same location as before - see pics. There is 3/4" between the mount and the crossmember.
