Default #3 rear cross member diff mount
I just discovered the differential mount on the 3# cross member rusted off,,,,,,, CRAP! Anybody have any luck replacing either just the mount or the entire cross member. I do have a friend that is a pro fabricator and welder.

I figured out that I can get away with only replacing the differential bracket on the cross member. The cross member would a huge pain.
