John,
Maybe the truck 4-speed is different but most manual trannies require
that you start at the front, remove the throwout collar, clutch gear etc,
before the rear section can be removed. So this means removing the
transmission before you start. But no need to disturb springs, axle etc,
just drop the driveshaft at the torque tube coupling behind the trans.
