Love non-Mopar swap meets.
« on: May 05, 2008 - 07:45:45 AM »
Went to the Moon City swap meet yesterday, saw a guy with a half dozen GM trannys.  Tucked in amongst them was a familiar looking long tailshaft A-833OD.  I asked the guy what it was out of and he said "An old 84 Dodge truck".  Musta been a chebbie guy, he let me have it & the Hurst comp+ shifter & linkage for 50 bucks.

I'd love to score one like that. I've been thinking about changing the Road Runners out to get the OD.

Hemiken,

Didn't do much for her, but I'm using it on my elbow, doing a good job with the arthritis there.
