My son is trying to drop the transmission in his 78 j10 in order to do a full Clutch/Plate/Bearing job, but we're kind of stuck on the transmission removal part of the job. None of the transmission jacks we've located seem to lift high enough to pluck the tranny out of the truck. short of piling up wood and muscling the thing out of there, with great risk to mechanical items and fleshy bits, I'm at a bit of a loss. Most of the places we've called don't have transmission jacks to rent. Those that do have very light weight ones. Purchasing one would be a possibility but to get one that lifts high enough is more than a transmission job.
Any thoughts on how to get that 400+ lbs beast out of the truck in a mostly safe, not incredibly expensive way?
Thanks,
