IIRC all four transmission to bellhousing bolts were installed from the back in trucks but the two lower bolts were installed from the front in cars. Or, IOW, the lower bolts are threaded in trucks and are drilled in cars.

And car bellhousings had two bolt holes for the engine mount while truck BH only had one.
