Putting in time at the junkyard

[70bigblockdodge]

Went to junkyard yesterday looking for some transmission parts. Spent some time searching piles of transmission parts in a 1974 GMC/bluebird school bus found one 4 pinion front planetary grabbed a front and rear drum so outting would not be a total loss. Asked if that pile of trans cores was still available up the hill, yep. Hiked up there in the snow and ice dug though 3 pu beds with just Chrysler transmissions. The best prospect I find is this one so do you grab a old piece of crap like that or walk on by?



You grab it at once and scrore.

A front and rear 4 pinion planetary plus earlier parts all for a hundred. Been a good weekend.

I would keep walking. Every junkyard in the world has a pile of 727's.

Snow? I wouldn't have been walking in the first place.

Did you know it was a 4 pinion before disassembly? If so, anything external give it away?
