Quick Question 57-60 Owners

My transmission has mounts on the bottom like there should be a crossmember holding the back of the transmission up. I can't find any bolt holes on my frame where a crossmember would bolt up and it looks like the transmission has just been supporting itself by the bellhousing for years. Should there be a crossmember there?

Also I need a lower bellhousing/flywheel cover for a 292, where could I get one?

My 3spd overdrive tranny has the mounts too but nothing holding it. Must have been used in other applications I figure?

I'd assume that it is not the original trans if it has an actual mount in back.

Only Car transmission had them, not Truck trans.

No cross member in mine either. 223 4 speed. I will say that T-98 is one HEAVY transmission.
