hi there,
AD stands for Advanced Design, and TF stands for my personal favorite, Task
Foce.
now for a few of my questions,.... when did Chevy or GMC first introduce
diesel engines in their trucks? i was looking around at everybodys favorite
internet trading sites this afternoon and found "diesel" emblems for a
'55-'57 GMC truck, this interests me greatly.
Also, a PO of my truck installed a 350/350 combo. the front mounts are of
the side mount variety, and while good, id rather go with a tube
crossmemeber for it to use better shock absorbing mounts, and the tranny
mount is basically a peice of channel iron with holes to mount a GM two
bolt mount onto it, BUT the original crossmember has been kept, which makes
it like to be imposible to drop my tranny pan, its not touching anywhere,
but is this normal? should i change this? and is it possible to drop the pan
with only about 1/4" of clearance?
should i compleatly remove this orignal crossmemeber, or could i just trim
it if possible? ill discribe it in more detail if anyone needs to hear it.
thanks,
