Some have said replacing a tranny is simple ,but yours has the 4wd drive trans fer case which is about as heavy as the tranny. I have replaced a std 4 speed in a 70 Dodge 3/4 T and a big auto in an old 61 ford station wagon, and I use to rebuild those Fordamatics and Chevy Power glides.
I would not even tackle the Toyota 4WD 5 speed now at my age and bad shoulders like you.


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
