Thanks oz - my old HJ van chassis was a 6 with column auto so i assume this cross member will bolt onto the newer hz ute chassis just fine and be able to run the 4 speed for the 308?

I dont even know what the HZ ute was before it was stripped - i only have the chassis number from which i cant even work out what year it is (77/78/79). For all i know it may already be the correct cross member.

A call to Holden was of no value and a post in the forum didnt get many bites. That will be an issue i will have to address sooner rather than later as that will determine which ADRs and EPA rules i must comply with during the rebuild to save any headaches when it gets registered in a few years time.

Just out of interest, what is the difference between t400, t350 and trimatic? Is it just evolution? What is the actual difference in the cross members, just the shape?

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Dave
