Deuce transfer case value?

[hambo]

I bought my deuce and it came with an extra transfer case. I believe its the air shift version. I was thinking about selling it but I dont know what its worth. Whats a ballpark value for one of these things?

Extra as in OEM new, as in fresh overhaul with tags in a crate or a loose takeout in unknown condition sliding around in the back of the truck before you got it? Big difference. Some info and pics would probably help.

I have no idea what a transfer is worth. However, I sold my loose takeout sliding around in the back of the truck unknown working condition deuce Spicer 3053 transmission for $100 a couple of year ago. I think the buyer liked the price and I didn't want to lug it around anymore, so it was win-win.

How much do you have in it? Price it according to what you need to get. Maybe it's low, in which case you might out a fellow SS'er. Or maybe your price is high in which case it won't sell so you'll lower the price until it does sell.

I've sold take out T-cases for 250 with the air shift valve and air lines. I have seen some higher and some lower.

The last air shift tcase I bought was out of a parts truck. I gave $400 for it. Put it in a friends truck and have never had issues in the last 2 years.

I sold an air shift take out for $200.00 and a sprag for $50.00.

You can't hardly give away a sprag. I do keep a couple around though because a lot of parts will interchange with a air-shift.

If it's a proven good air-shift, I'd think it would at least be worth $250. Maybe more.

You might want to hang onto it though. You never know when the one in the truck will take a dump.

$250.00 is about average. I sold a bunch of them for that price when I was parting out trucks.

Okay. Thanks for all the info. Im not totally sure mine is an air shift. I tried to look up pictures but couldn't find any that really specifically identified the case as an air shift. Anyone got any pictures of an air shift vs a sprag?

Looks like this one. The black cylinder sticking out below the speedometer adapter is the air shift cylinder. It faces the front of the truck. A sprag unit won't have that.

$250-350 for a good condition/working air-shift case. A sprag case=what ever scrap weight is going for.

 

[hambo]

Here is my transfer case. I think the lever sticking out is where the black cylinder would be. Does this mean mine is just a sprag?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yes.

 

[hambo]

Are you sure? Is there any chance its just an air shift with a connecting lever or something?

 

[m16ty]

No. The lever is there to change the sprag from forward to reverse. There is a linkage that goes from the lever to the shift rail of the trans.

Definately a sprag case.

Don't toss it! Put it at the bottom of your parts collection crate! Deuce ownership mandates the slow but eventual collection of "someday" parts.

Bring it to the Findlay rally in May and I'll buy it from you for $50.
