Thanks guys. The gearbox in my truck has no rear transmission mount. The rear mounts are on the bell housing and the trans just sticks out to the rear with nothing to support it once the engine mounts are disconnected. I am under a carport with perhaps not enough room to lift the engine above the radiator support, but will try. The main problem is supporting the manual trans when I disconnect it from the engine. The only thing connecting it to the truck is the speedo cable, and I don't think that will cut the mustard. ;-)
A friend has offered to give me a rear transmission mount from his '69 C10, so I do not intend to re-use the rear engine/bellhousing mounts with the 700. So, how hard is it to remove at least one front fender to aid in the radiator support panel removal?
Thank you.
Regards from Down Under.
