There is a frame cross member for support at that point. Question 2 is that this truck has an open driveline and a pto on the trans as it was set up as a dump box, did the 46 1/2 tons have an open driveline? This is a canadian built truck so has a chev 216 in it instead of a 228 GM and 4 speed trans.

I found it easier to pull the engine unbolting it from the trans and taking it out with the bellhousing attached, a lot easier to get the clutch,flywheel and bellhousing off while its hanging on the hoist.
You can always pull the trans afterwards and bolt it onto the engine when it comes time to put it back in, if you don't like struggling to get the input shaft lined up if your by yourself.
