Cummins crossmember 72 k20

Just pulled the trigger on a 91.5 dodge to start my swap into my 72 k20. Anyone ever use the stock dodge engine crossmember and fab it into their 67-72? I haven't done any measuring yet but was courious

That's exactly how I did my 56. The frame was a bit too wide but when I was boxing the front portion it all worked out quite well.i figure it saved me a ton of time farting around with mounts and
such.
