no, the frame is different, you'll want to cut the center from your original one and move it back, then brace it with 4" metal plate.

It doesn't seem too hard to modifiy a 60e member so I would just do that unless you just like being different.
you can also buy a modified crossmember from transmissioncenter.net ready to go and you ship them your core back to get a large portion of your money back.
i cant remember if you have the simple crossmember or not.. but this is a easy deal if you have a really 1999 marked as a 2000 like mine..
