I wonder what the Ford Manuals actually say for removing the transmission?? I have several Motor's Auto Repair Manuals but prefer to use manuals or service bulletins published by Ford Motor Co. The above procedure sounds "bass acwards" to me.  If you take the floor pan/floor boards out first, it might be a whole lot easier to unbolt things like the universal joint covers, speedometer cable, brake rods if there are mechanical brakes, and several other things required to remove the complete rear end assembly out from the rear of the car on a closed drive/torque tube type system. Now, that just may make things a little bit "Easier Peasier" IMO
