Haven't had a chance to look at the book yet--Is a transmission mount rubber change a simple raise-and-swap operation or does one have to disassemble/disconnect most of the truck? I imagine that even a "simple" raise-and-swap will require removal of floor pans & transmission shifter hump to accomodate shifter movement :(

No need to remove the floors or tranny tunnel. Just remove the nut on the top of the mount, remove the nuts and bolts holding the brackets to the cross member lift up the tranny with a jack and take the bracket/mount out. Put new mounts on the brackets and re-assemble to the truck. Does require some effort but as far as rover projects go not bad at all....The brackets are handed so make note which side you took them from.
