C-4 & DANA 20 rebuild/ reseal cost
I currently have my 1975 C-4/ Dana 20 at a Parkland WA trans shop. I was quoted a price of $1000 to rebuild/ reseal the C-4 and reseal the Dana 20. I was going to pull the motor, trans and transfer case myself, but by the time you round up an engine stand, engine hoist, and trans jack, plus your time and bleeding knuckles, I thought it was better to let someone else with more experince do it. I'm paying $800 to have the engine, trans, and transfer case removed, then reinstalled after the paint job. Plus they guarantee it. I know this sounds like a lot of cash, but the NADA blue book value of the 1975 Bronco is over $20000. I am currently having the Bronco painted from the original white to dark jade poly (dark metallic green). Wild Horses sells a Dana 20 rebuild kit for $169. I guess what it all comes down to is how much do you want to spend, and your inventory of tools, and how soon do you want it back on the road? My two cents worth.
