Those bolts LOVE to back out...teflon thread sealer is a MUST!!

[onemanarmy]

I can't say for sure....but i think I'm missing those bolts.

Any clue of size/thread?

Thanks for the info on all of it.

I've got another cross member running behind the transmission, so I can't see where those 2 bolts go.
Is that extra crossmember a stock piece?
It's bolted, I can remove it....but is it stock?

Thanks

There is a cross member directly behind the transmission, should be a shelf welded on it to mount the back of the transmission on, it has a large round hole in it on the RH side for the front driveshaft to pass through. I looked at mine quickly and if I recall it's bolted in.

Definitely bolted in, I had to remove mine to repair the frame in that area.

Ah the memories...

[onemanarmy]

Thanks
Yea, mine is bolted in. I'll take it off and check the back of my trans for those missing bolts.

I've now have a 1974 AMC 360/3 speed/tcase out of a J10 to go in the fire truck.

Any value in the stock, running and complete engine/trans/tcase? It has a rebuilt carb and new fuel pump on it. I hate to scrap it if someone can use it.

I'd place an add in the for sale section, even if you're giving it away so more people would see it.

[onemanarmy]

yea....I'll advertise it, but not shipping it.

Might be worth more parted out. I've got $400 in carb and fuel pump $ in it. It runs, but needs a tune and new plugs.

[onemanarmy]

stock engine is out. Next step is to mock up the 360/4speed/tcase assembly out of the 1974 J truck.

Stock engine, trans, tcase is for sale. Located near Wilson NC.
