Is the 3 bolts that go thru the frame the only thing holding the box in place, and do they have nuts on the other side??? It's all that's holding me up from getting the front end stuff off for sig Sam. That and the crank pulley, but the impact I bought just for this job, has paid for itself already! Anything you can pass on about this will be extremely appreciated.

Never mind, I figured it out. Sam, all I need to do is get a box big enough to ship it in, and it will be own it's way. I left it all connected, minus the pump, it was the easiest way. Anyhoot, thought I'd share this with ya, been a while getting it to ya, but it's almost there. Again, I'm sorry for the delay, but the Impact was the ticket.

Three bolts is indeed all that holds the gearbox in place, and the bolts are threaded into the box, so no extra nuts are needed.

Thanks Scott, I was starting to think I had the plague or something.

William, make sure you have everything you need to put yours back together before you ship anything back, such as those bolts for the steering box. I don't think I sent you the bolts, just the box itself, etc.

OK, I think I threw the SB bolts in the box to be shipped . That would have been typical tho. Thanks for the reminder Sam.
