Default 75 Crossmember Install

Can someone please tell me how to correctly mount a 75 crossmember (Auto transmission) to the frame. Is the crossmember welded or bolted on?

Thanks

On my 75 the trany cross member is welded, but there are many who have changed to a bolted style.

If it's an original auto car, it will be bolt on. Two vertical bolts on each side, one lateral. If it's an original 4 speed car, it is welded in.
