Take out the horizontle bolt/nut (blue) then the 2 vertical bolts (yellow) then the mt is free. Then remove the crossmember or if it's welded in solid??? pull the eng/trans forward thru it till it clears live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Support the trans a hair then the blue then the yellow then the trans mount falls out then the red bolts then the crossmember is free & take it out & you're free and clear with the jack supporting the trans on the end live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Are you planning on removing the forward t-bar crossmember? - MoPar Jamie 1972 Fury III 4dr 1986 D-150 LWB Royal SE

Are you planning on removing the forward t-bar crossmember? Removing the torsion bar cross member would give you alot more room as trans would drop freely - but bigger job and not something to do just to help with removal and no plan to rebuild LCA's, etc. Also with the trans crossmember attached -your probably going to fight with the dual exhaust unless you can drop them to the floor (?)
