rear crossmember frame gussets

[79fj40moneypit]

Hi,
I have a 4/79 fj40 and am trying to figure out which year rear frame 45 degree crossmember gussets can I use since I live in CT were salt eats everything, mine have gone back to mother earth, Are all of them the same or only specific years work, I want to use the stock gussets no homemade or aftermarket ones.

pics stolen from another member but I can't remember which one this shows a aftermarket piece or homemade

Thanks

On my 79 and my 76 the rear (round) crossmemeber looks to be the same and in the same position. The bracing from the side rails to the rear member is set up differently.
