We drove up to the small dairy farming town of Sumas Washington yesterday and picked up this transmission after agonizing for three months about how the get the truck based woodie back on the road for the summer. Now it's almost upon us. Anyhow I got sidetracked this morning rambling about granny low etc, as usual and didn't post these. Pics. Not really that noteworthy, just a gearbox from some outdated pickup, but my wife came with me and we made an outing of it. The sellers were a nice young couple with a 97 acre farm and we spent an hour visiting in the sun. It was a very beautiful drive and I think we found a nice T-5 that will be a good gear box for our beloved wagon.
