How could I have missed that? You’ve never been wrong yet, Harvey! I ‘ll check again. Thank you.

You’ve never been wrong before, Harvey! I’ll need to check because I certainly missed seeing those cutouts.

Wonderful information. Thank you.

It is indeed an automatic , so I suspect I’ll have to remove the exhaust pipes. Do you rember what tool you used for the bolts above the crossmber- socket or wrench (spanner)? I do have torquing specifications for this car.

I was afraid of that….

Well, that’s good news regarding the exhausts. Thank you.

All: Re: 1972 3500 ( Left Hand Steering) I would appreciate input into the following questions regarding removing the oil sump pan: 1. Do the exhaust pipes need to be removed prior, or, can the sump pan be coaxed out once the pan bolts are removed without so doing? 2. What’s the best way to...

Thank you! Ps- Still clanging, still leaking oil, but, I’m on it.

I would appreciate any advice/suggestions on the best way to access the external gear linkage for a 72 3500 automatic (BW-35). I can see that the exhaust downpipe will need to come out. I'm hoping that the crossmember does not have to be removed as well. Any ideas on accomplishing this task...
