Is the engine/trans still in the truck?
Remove the four nuts that connect the torque converter to the flywheel.
DO NOT Try to remove the engine with the torque converter attached. You risk breaking the stator support off of the pump.

I am stripped all the way down to the frame, everything excepts the drivetrain. Cab and fenders and box are off. There are some bolts along the bottom edge of the transmission. Those ones?

pull the inspection cover at bottom of trans at the motor .. rotate the crank shaft from the front taking loose and out each bolt that connects the flexplate to the torque converter as they become accessible with crank shaft rotation ..

You can also stick the screwdriver through a hole in the flywheel to do the same thing.

Sorry maybe I misunderstood you, if your removing the torque converter nuts use a socket and rachet so when the flex plate turns the socket will hit the side of the tin shield stopping it from turning allowing you to loosen the nuts. Good luck.

Pretty sure he's talking about the crank bolts (6), there should've only been four torque converter nuts.

Wow thanks guys for the help...much appreciated. I got the 4 nuts removed for the torque converter and then broke the bolts lose for the fly wheel with my impact gun. Wasn't sure if I should use an impact gun for that so I went light and they came right out.
I know I may sound like I am in over my head on this restoration, but I do not care. All of you have been a great help with my questions. I am learning every single day. I'll be honest, when I got the engine off, I had to look at the shop manuals to find out what the big round thing and the wheel with all the teeth were...lol... Now I know.
Thanks again!

I am at the same point on my truck. I've removed the starter and the 2 bolts holding the inspection cover on but this cover is not moving. What is the best way to remove the inspection cover?
