Hey everyone, I've been lurking on the forum for a while. I picked up my 71 mid last year, but have not been able to do a lot of work on it until now. My goal is to get on the road this summer. The main thing I need right now is a transmission. The one I pulled out of it is a RAT trans, but the reverse gear is mangled. From what I've read on here, it would be easier to just buy a new one, then invest the money in fixing this one.
All I'm looking for is a 3 speed manual like what came out of it (302 V8). I know these transmissions are not desirable, so I'm hoping to find something on the cheap. I will upgrade to something else later, but am just looking for the easiest and cheapest solution to get this thing on the road, and start enjoying it. I'm located in central Illinois, but am willing to make a drive to pick one up. I might be able make the super celebration this year, so that might be a good meetup place. I'm new to the bronco world, so it would be nice to meet some fellow enthusiasts.
Thank you,
Jeff
