About a month ago I found a P/S gear box listed for sale .. On another sight not a Bronco .. Ad was very vag Just said early classic Bronco p/s gear box..
... I ask if it work .I got a one word answer back ..YES..
... I ask what year he got it off of .. no response ..
... I ask if it was leaking .. One word .........NO.....
... Picture was off his cell phone ...
... And I ask how many turns .. ..NO response .....
... He wanted $65.00 for it .. So me being the gambler I am ..
I told him I'd take it if shipped didn't kill it..
.... He sent me a message that it'd be $72.00 shipped to my door.. From like Va. to TX. .. But he was busy and would be a few days before he could ship it but if I'd sent him a check he'd ship it to me .. So I mailed him a check about a month ago .. I was thinking I'd just made a donation TO ALI or Abdole.
..... What Big Brown dropped it off this evening .. I opened the box not expecting much But WOW I think I won this one.. Doesn't look like it got any leak... tight... threads look good..I could turn it by hand ..
.... Nice to win ever once in a while ...
....
.........I have another Bronco I've been wanting to move into the shop an it is short a gear box .. BUT NOT NOW.

Good deal there PAPITT, every so often you can pull a rabbit out of a hat instead of a skunk.

The frosting on that cake would be if it were a 4 turn box.

Congrats Papitt. My daddy always told me even blind chickens find grain.
