So, looking at the linked pic, there's another bracket nesting in front of
the drop 'cradle'? Spanning the space between the 'generic' Dyco-IH 311
mounting cusions and the rear bearing retainer of the tranny?

Never seen this setup, and definitely don't have one laying around. I didn't
think that the '75-ish 5 speed that came out of the parted Cargostar had any
provision for studs on the bottom, that one's gone so I can't verify.
