Does your truck have the large C4TE-G bell housing and 15" flywheel? I know a man looking for a steel replacement but he nor me has located a sorce for new flywheels.

Progress Report:
My helper and called it quits last nite after spending an hour or more trying to get the two bell housing to cross member bolts to align.Went out at 6:15 am with my very large ratchet strap.Hooked one end to front bumper then back around tranny,then back to the bumper.Pulled engine forward 3/8" both bolts are now in and secured.Took about 30 min by myself.......thunderstorms are now here......will finish when they leave

Ratchet straps are wonderful things.

Sounds like you are headed in the right direction again, Dan.

I can see by the three fingered pressure plate that you don't.

Sorry to hear about your luck Dan. I have AAA because I drive older, high mileage vehicles and sometimes need a tow. I've more than made my annual subscription back every year. This year none so far but I'm willing to accept that as it means - NO BREAKDOWNS!

Glad to hear you got her back and running down the road. Slick on my brother!
