56 f100 o/d transmission tail shaft cross member support
Kultulz, any idea why Ford didn’t have a cross member support on the o/d transmission tail shaft on the 56 f100? I always wondered about that. Had a 55 custom line that had one.

I guess you you hit alright, always thought that is a big, long, hunk of heavy metal hanging off the bell housing with no support on the tail shaft but its never given me any problems.

Re: 56 f100 o/d transmission tail shaft cross member support
If you think about it, a mount @ the transmission tail housing will also put stress on the output shaft assy. The output shaft is supported by the output shaft brng (main case) and the tail-shaft bushing along with the integrity of the actual tail-shaft extension housing.
There will also be varying degrees of stress regarding the driveshaft design, whether one or two piece driveshaft. As to the front mount, it (the style) was done as a result of using a straight front axle in those years. A cross-member would interfere with axle movement. I hope I answered that correctly and understandably. Referring URL - https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...0+motor+mounts
