Go take a look at how many bolts hold the front end off the truck. My dad has an 80s chev truck and when he pulled parts he said it took no time at all to pull the front end off and remove engine and tranny as one. Then again he has the sm 465 which weighs a heck of a lot more then an auto...
Last time I had to hook up an auto while under the truck I woulda made a sailor blush with all my colorful sayings...
