Default 700-r4 crossmember

Hey guys, I'm new to the sight. I just bought a 1979 fixer upper! I will post pix as I go. Im replacing the turbo 350 with a 700-r4. I have the instructions for the tv cable and the lock up converter. I was wondering If any body sells a crossmember that fits this application? I can fab the old one, just easer to buy one. thanks for the help:

You can buy a cross member from Bow Tie Overdrives out of California.

You'll need to find someplace locally for the drive shaft modification.

or you can just buy the modified pirch that BTO sold for your crossmember. I'm not sure if they sell it anymore though. I bought this one about 7 years ago from them.
