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,
