i have a mental plan for the crossmember, but nothing more concrete than that. the engine will be supported on the frame and there will be a cradle/crossmember that will be removable. so the oil pan can be removed while the engine is in the truck and supported on its mounts. similar to the way you have started doing in your crew cab. i am pretty sure i will be using a double set of leaf spring t-bushings on each side but i may use the stock dodge mounts. that is doubtful though as i have some hidden childhood fear of stock parts. in my head it is all very pretty and functional. hopefully i will be able to get to work on that in the next few months.
