Tim, Step 11 is impossible because the raised bolt holes block the way. Maybe a short guide pin is what the used. Looking for 1-ton exceptions doesn't help. That's where those holes are used for a hand parking brake.
Hotrod, I remember Cletis describing that "4x4 on the doors" method many years ago. Good ol' Charlie.
It's all coming back. I was really confused seeing the 2nd pin wouldn't work. I didn't remember this 17 years ago when I followed the manual instructions for removing the tranny from the engine while they were in the truck. That's because I removed the engine with tranny ATTACHED!!! Duh. I didn't face the pin problem then! I did use a tranny jack and pins when reinstalling.
I've showed the pic before. It is possible if the radiator frame was cut "back in the day" and not rewelded, like mine. You also need to grimace properly as my clean friend and I show in the 2nd pic.
Thanks to you all. I have a 4x4 plan and won't do the 1st picture. Thanks again.
