NEED HELP With Crossmember Placement!!!

Hello fellow members....

I need some help ... yet again..

I am currently putting my 78 supercab 4x4 back together... I got all my crossmembers back in place, dropped my cab back on the chassis, and started looking at one crossmember closser... Im thinking I have the transmission/transfercase crossmember in backwards.

I need someone to tell me what end of the truck the flat part of the crossmember goes?? When you look at the crossmember you have double mountain side and a flat side.... Which way is right????????

Thanks in advance!!!
Tom
