Good morning,

Do you mean the 2 behind the block? That would require the removal of the transmission to access them.

If not, then I attached below the entire freeze plug kit for the block from Rock Auto. For $12.00, you have them all. You will need to punch them inside the block and use a pair of pliers to remove them.

Thanks you for the reply. Yes, it was behind the block. Previous owners had replaced them all but this one didn't stay put. So I got was able to buy the truck cheap for a first vehicle for my daughter.
