96 crossmember differences?

We just picked up a nice 96 2500 (2wd) that's in great shape, save for the automatic transmission crossmember which was twisted by a stump strike. Can anyone tell me which crossmembers will work on this truck? Are they all basically the same or are there differences? Thanks!

Check with a dismantler , then you will know the price , availability & what fits .
I suspect a 2nd gen. - 94-0? , 2x4 , auto trans .

Anyone else have any idea? Our local salvage yard isn't the best to deal with...

I can't see how the frames changed at all from 94-98.5, but a year in and around that mark 94-97 should be fine.

I believe auto and manual are the same.
