[Nobbc] SATURDAY OYSTER RUN

[Paige, Dean]

Now there is the question. Thinking about hitting the local tranny shops to
see if rebuilds are available locally or maybe the pick and pay yard. Good
rebuilt in S Cal is $800 according to Herman. Best unit is the W-58 per
Herman. Still a far cry from Moss's Conversion which comes in at 5K OUCH!

Dean,
Is Herman supplying the gearbox, or did you source one yourself? I know Toy
gearboxes are pretty easy to find, but how did you handle that?
Cheers,
