That would be the Workhorse chassis (Chevy 454).
It lives in a steel box behind the steps.
Attached are some items to assist.
Also contact oldusedbear at oemys.com.

You can disconnect it via the cable at the output of the steel box (2 cresent wrenches) - but you will not have parking brake - when in park the RV will roll. There isn't a parking prong on the xmission. Use a chock - just like in the movie RV.
Here are some good links to troubleshooting aids:
