I dunno, never tried to sell an IFS power steering box before...sides, i've only got 4 or 5 spares...
Make me an offer on that and the sliding rear window...you'll hafta tell me XtraCab or Standard cab, they're different height windows. And the boxes are supposed to be good...they worked and weren't leaking when i pulled them, anyways.

I didn't know anything about the door till you posted Glen...i was like "What??"...i called my customer and apparently it's just a 20# light wood 30"x80" connecting door. Bring it if you got the room, if'n ya don't, leave it there, no biggie.

Poor Glen... 

[79coyotefrg]

yep thats me >

Don't forget your snow chains and winter jacket  Be sure to pack a chocolate bar, flares and a blanket for when you end up in the ditch on I-35 in Iowa

[alwayzbroken]

You are gonna be one cold SOB Its gonna be below zero tonight and snow is in the forecast.

[Gittinit]

  I cant stop laughing when I see your new avatar, that is hilarious!

[Oddmar]

Hey Gittinit, that tranny i sent you only has the reduction box shifter.

Before i got it it belonged to my friend Tom Oberle, he's a trucker and a powerlifter, and thinks he can speedshift all the time, even if he can't. So the tranny shifter snapped off just inside the tranny...he has both pieces but they're at his house. I can send them to you if'n ya want.

There's nothing wrong with this 4.3, is there? It looks good....

Yeah, Glen told me who that is in alwaysbroken's avatar...never having met the Marlin crowd i had no idea. Fitting, though. He seems to have dug his own grave pretty well, but if we ever meet i may hand him a shovel and ask for a demonstration.

[alwayzbroken]

I laughed to myself for quite a while, keeping an eye out for negative PMs or somebody telling me it was innappropriate. I am glad someone else enjoys it as well.

It needs bearings and gaskets as we discussed. The machine work is done...the crank was polished and the heads surfaced. I do think there is a bolt broke for the pass side motor mount and there is definately some surface rust on the crank front and rear main seal surfaces, but nothing some emery cloth and or a easy sleeve won't fix.
I do need a shifter I plan to try my hand at rebuilding it. Before you go to any trouble let me ask a local friend, he might have one. You should have kept the t-case shifter, becouse I didn't send you one.
