It seems that people here a ditching these for upgrades so am I right to assume it's a boat anchor or do these things have value to some folks?
Thanks

It was meant for heavy trucks to get the loads moving. Not so the case for the big trucks that have survived now. Check out this article in Novak Conversions. Put an ad in the for sale or free section here. I'm sure somebody could use it. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Put it on craigslist. If there are any rock crawlers or mud boggers around they will want it. It is too big and heavy to sell long distance. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 835 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 835 | I think this is a very desirable transmission. A great upgrade for the 1/2 ton torque tube truck. Don't junk it.

Yup, I figured I'd CL it when I get some time to entertain interests. No way I'll scrap it, I'd rather it sit for years, somebody will want it sooner or later.
