Thank you for your info, the problem with the transmission was pretty simple
at first My bolts loosened up between the torque converter and my flex plate,
one bolt broke off. This guy I know gives me a price to drop the tranny.
Anyway the idiot pulls it out ok, then does not get the torque converter all
the way back in during install and tries to force it back together by
starting one bolt on the drivers side then cranking the hell out of one on
the passenger side, it busted the bell housing for two of the bolts back into
the housing about 3".
I don't need the truck for heavy hauling, I just want to find something cheap
to get it back on the road. Again thanks for the help.

Have you thought about taking the transmission with the broken bell housing to a welding shop to weld it back?.. Think that option will be cheaper.
