'50 Transmission Support

[Henry/Kokomo]

Time for the dumb-question-of-the-day. Is the crossmember that supports the rear of the transmission in a '50 coupe bolted in or a weldment of the frame? I have a chance to buy a '50 coupe that previously had a SBC & 350 installed - no eng or transmission now. I have a fresh, warmed up 8BA and '50 3 speed to install. Just trying to get an idea what would be involved putting it back like it was built. Thanks in advance for any info., suggestions, opinions, etc.

its bolted in with 3 bolts on each side of the frame and i think 2 bolts to the bottom of the trans

The bolts thread into nuts that are welded inside of frame.
