The torsion bars were secured to a seperate body mounted crossmember that also held the transmission mount. Sorry, the old Cuda and Satelite platforms, along with the Road Runner style, even the Fury and big Chryslers were all considered Unibody cars. Dodge trucks are full frame but, vans are unibody. Ford Torino and Mustangs are unibody with a suspension / engine mount cradle and Pinto's too. GM A body cars (Chevelle type body) were Body-on-Frame full frame cars along with Vetts untill the C4's bonded hydroform intergal structure. Camaro's ,from 1967 untill '81, had a unibody rear shell with a front stub frame. In '82 the Camaro had a full unibody construction. The F body (Camaro/Firebird) design was first used by GM in '64 on the first Nova. Unibody structure cars have been around since the '40's.

The DCX LX platform is a full UNIBODY structural design. The front and rear suspension is mounted to an isolated cradle. The cradles are used to increase the strength of the suspension mount areas without having to over design the body structure. The LX front cradle also holds the engine mounts but the transmission crossmember is bolted to the floor pan.

Ok now it's starting to make sense. Thanks HEMIDON, you did shine some light on the situation. Lol.
