Re: Transmission seized
What model of truck is it and what transmisison. It shouldn't be that hard to find a decent replacement trans and go again.
If it is a 48/51 the instructions are here http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com...51ctsm0701.htm
I'd carefully take it apart, photograph each step for reference and see exactly what is wrong with it. If it is just bearings that are seized up you shouldn't be in too bad of shape and can buy a bearing, small parts and gasket kit. If it takes more than that and gears or shafts are galded you may be better off finanicially to replace the trans. The $$$ add up real quick when you replace gears, shafts or syncros.
