If you ever have to remove a SM-465 transmission, aka the Granny Low 4 speed from a Chevy Pick up: Try to jack the truck up about two feet.
The transmission is a Top Loader and it is hard to clear the stick shift handle. I had to turn the transmission on its side to get it out.
Most transmissions you can leave the bell-housing on, but I had to disconnect it because the Inlet spline is too long and the hole in the floor don't go back far enough for the spline to clear the bell-housing.
Oh yeah, that rascal is heavier than any automatic I ever pulled so try and get a decent jack or cart to move it on. Mine got stuck in the dirt cause it was so heavy.
