I just suggest build or buy a arm to hold the Tranmission on an engine stand.

I have rolled these arond on a Tailgate and built them.
Clean / Clean / Clean is the main thing.

You're right, I love my manuals, especially in old trucks. I still haven't finished the rebuild on Frankentruck's transmission. I really don't want to rebuild another transmission, especially an automatic. There's some wizardry going on inside those

I have decided that there's way too many things that need to be fixed on Penny to be able to take her on Power Tour this year, so I'm going to be taking my time to fix things the right way and do them how I want instead of just cobbling something together as a stop-gap and hoping it lasts long enough
