If it is a 4x4 version of automatic, it has a heavier case casting and
a removable lower bellhousing that is also cast. There is no seprate
removeable metal shield on front of tranny on that casting design.
ALso I would not use a LD casting in place of the HD casting in a 4x4
because the HD casting is designed to take the counter torque of Tcase
safely (it is about 40% stronger in rear housing area)

Is the 99 a new style Silverado with a 4.8, 5.3 or 6.0? If so it will
not bolt into 97 anyway.
