gear box mounting bracket!!

I have a 92 W350 club cab dually with 145k original miles that's my daily driver. The previous owner welded up the cracks in my gear box mounting bracket and let's just say he wasn't the greatest welder. All the welds broke and the whole gear box fell off and hung by the hoses. He boogered the bracket up so bad that there's nothing left to weld to so I need another bracket. Does anyone know where to get one? I need one pretty quick! Thanks in advance.

Discontinued and only found now in a Junkyard.

or in the Classifieds here (maybe)

if you're lucky, you might find someone volunteering to allow you to purchase a used one from them.


or you could do this and forget about that bracket

Thanks for the response NJTman, that crossover steering looks pretty nice. I don't currently have the funds to do it so I guess I'll be fabbing a bracket up this weekend until I can do the crossover.

If you end up looking in a Upull, 1/2 tons and Ramchargers use the same plate. I even found the reinforcing bracket for the inside of the frame on a few RC's.

Thanks MARF75, that's a bit of knowledge that could really be handy. I'll probably fan my own brace though when I installed the new bracket

Goatdaddy....

Crossover or Reverse Rotation ? Mine is the RR and I love it. Not disappointed in any way whatsoever..

You need a lift for the crossover system to work, or at least that's what I was under the assumption.

I'm sure the guys here are setting you up with a nice used bracket.
