It sure looks like it wont have enough room to clear the floor pan and the cross member.

Why do you need to remove them both. The bell holds up the rear of the motor. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I was worried about the clearance issue, is there enough room to slide it out with the bell housing on the tranny.

If it is a 4 speed you will need to remove the shift lever & the cab floor panel.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

You will need the floor panel from the donor truck, they are different between 3 speed and 4 speed.
