going to pella saturday
well i gotta run up to pella to dougs trucks on saturday to pick up a new transmission, going to scrounge around looking for this and that also. have to replace mine, someone who was helping me got in a hurry and ended up snapping half the ears off the bellhousing and put a big crack in it too. no it wasnt me, i was in the house talking on the phone. I need some migrane headahe stuff, if it isnt one thing it is something else. jeeze

if your transmission is ok other than the problem you described, just find a case that will fit your engine it doesn't even have to be from a truck or have the same tail shaft, then gut them both, and transfer all of you internals to the new case, and you are good to go, and watch dougs they have a tendancy or reputaion for covering up problems until you get it home (like painting over rust without fixing it)

hey lifted it is a total of 29 inchs long from the front of the bell housing to the rear of the output shaft, it is a c6 short tail shaft let me know i still waiting on dougs to call me and he wants 250 clams. i would rather buy it from a someone like you then dougs. but i need it right away too, cant stand not having a vechile to drive tired of bumming rides to work. call me if you want cell number 319-209-1185 or at home at 319-752-0574

I wonder what he'd charge for a 300 that I could rebuild at my leisure without having my truck down...

Dougs is a complete rip-off! Try Witt's outside Eddyville. I went to Dougs for a front hub when I still had my '77. He wanted some outrageous price and didnt even know if he had one. Called Witt's and is was about half price. He even exchanged it after I found a crack. Dont even get me started about the "truck" he has for sale!
