the frame on the roaster was not from the 320 pickup but the 320 bulebird
sedan & wagon the front end cross member was on rubber pads and bolted to
the rest of the frame , it also had , no X member as it was just a ladder
frame. for the roadtsre they welded the front member to the frame and added
the X member for torstional ragidity becuse the roaster was a convertable.
the mounts brackets mentioned were where the 1100 cc engine monted in the
sedan & wagon
