I have three of them in storage, one out of a truck and the other two out of vans and they have the two bolt mounting for the console bracket. I wonder what years they had a different tail shaft?
That's a good question. The ones I've sen have been about half and half on having the bracket or not.
Not all of the truck/van tranny's had this, I think they started doing it in the 80's for only a couple years. My van had a bracket mounted to the timming cover for a timing probe.
The trucks and vans are a cheap source for tranny's, most people don't think to look at them.
