[UglyJeep]

Where would be the best place to find a used 3053a in southern california? What would be a fair price?

Thanks in advance

Several options here: http://shortlinks.net/gce935

Up to $200 for a good takeout. Don't buy without taking a look inside!

Thanks! I have allready spoken with Av truck & equipment, and they want $450 for a take-out. Barstow hasn't yet replied to my email. I'll probably have to give them a call.

Get with WillWagner and see if they are going to see the brothers anytime soon, that might be an option. Then again, I don'r know where S Cali starts and ends

Where/who are "the brothers"?

Ugly Jeep,

M35A2 trans.

I was moving one of my vehicles today, a 1997 Topkick with a 6spdOD tranny. I never looked, but I think that tranny would be a good candidate for a Deuce. Might be more plentiful and maybe less expencive. !!!???

Just got an email from barstow truck parts - "$550.00 outright for a used takeout. I may have some new/rebuilt for around $1500.00"
AV told me I could get a rebuilt one from them for around $900!

Are "the brothers" that yard in fontana I've read about on here?

I keep seeing these transmissions on the east coast for $100 - $150 - why are they so much out here?!? I'd think that they'd be cheaper at barstow with all the m35's that come out of the Marine base there.

Why is everything more expensive in cali?

 

[yellobronc]

double that 550 and you could have an entire duece from Barstow GL....

 

[UglyJeep]

And I could pull the trans and sell the axles for the price of the truck. I've thought about it, but I know if I bought the dang thing I wouldn't have the heart to tear it apart. I really don't need another project (I'd like one but there is a certain someone who would make my life miserable ).

 

[yellobronc]

I know....Same here....They just dont see things the same sometimes....

 

[UglyJeep]

I still need a trans if anyone's got one to get rid of.

 

[Sephirothq]

Got one all the way over in PA

Sadly it's because the dirt here that it sits on costs so much more for rent/property taxes. Not to mention the "Special Cleaner Burning Fuel" we have to buy here to deliver/ship it which is about 20% higher than the rest of the country.
