Seems like a great answer to me since it provides all the details needed.

What does it say under the "Cab Mods" section at the bottom of the instructions??

60-66
... cab floor will need to be modified for trans bellhousing clearance if equip'd with a small hump...

67-72
... small hump will need to be converted to the large hump...

73-87
cab floor and firewall will need no modification when running a small block and auto.

That seems to be a common problem, buyers rarely get the instructions. Then they come here and ask questions.

Ask Nate for the instructions there is other info on there that is important like torque specs and dimensions.

We e-mail out a PDF of our instructions with each crossmember purchase. We do not supply a hard copy UNLESS somebody does not have access to e-mail. Texastrendz' DM has not shipped yet, so he didn't receive any isntructions. I have since e-mailed him a copy. Eventually I will have a set on my site along with a video of an installation.

IF anybody who has purchased a kit hasn't received instructions, or just has installation questions, PLEASE let me know.

Re: another drop member question

nate is correct, i ordered my drop member a couple of days ago. i did not know that he emailed the instructions to people, i thought they came with the dropmember in a hard copy form. i was asking on the forum because of the wide usage of his product and the peoples knowledge of his product. sorry for any misunderstanding on my end. i am just trying to stay ahead of the game on finding parts to accomplish my build. once again thanks for all the help.
