On car-part.com who had the tested used boxes for $50? To my knowlege, that site just links you up with salvage yards in the area you select.

FWIW the reman gear in my 67 works great, but the input shaft leaks. Super annoying, If I had it to do over I would just grab a wrecking yard box.

Yes, car-part.com is just a huge internet junk yard. But there was one yard that had 6-8 of them for $50.00. The notes said "tested" I have no real idea what that means. If I bought a wrecking yard one, I would just rebuild it before installing it. They are really simple to rebuild. All you need is a service manual, inch pound torque wrench, a 8" piece of wood dowel rod and some basic hand tools. Once cleaned, it's an hour job on the bench.
