That would not stop me from installing the drive train. I would bolt it all in even with just 2 bolts. I just would not be driving it too hard that way. You can always swap in the correct 1 when you get it...

This I agree with.
Bolt it in and go lightly. Possibly just slot the crossmember holes to allow all 4 connections. If welder is available you could weld on washers to outside faces that align with car holes. This would keep location proper.

Those are  significantly off. I would definitely source a factory cross member to replace it though. Above comment is just a bandaid.
Hopefully... the misalignment is not the floor being collapsed.
Hence reason I noted factory part as replacement. Not an aftermarket piece.

I don't think the floor collapsed. The crossmember came as a spare and was not installed on the car

As im waiting for parts and some money. I decided to remove the doors skins and i was just wondering if anybody has used the cuda doors skins? Does the  door skins cover the inner part of the door which is in the 2nd pic? I wasnt too sure since i cant see the other of the door skins and their's no pics

Painting the door shell with some corroseal came out nice.

I am literally lost on where these window hardware go for the window. One my driver side window has stuff different than what in my door window hardware. I figured out the orange hardware goes into the roller on the channel but im too sure is something is suppose to go in between the orange roller?

I am not sure te rear sway bar busins are available , likely you will need to find a similar busin & make it fit , Poly may be a better option

That was more difficult than I thought, can't get my phone in there to get good shots, too tight. This is what I could get to, not much help maybe...
I'll leave the door side off for now, let me know if you need any more pict.

Cuda70-74

Thanks for the pics. Do you think u could get a pictures of the front roller of the door
