You know I can't do that. I want the original one.

There's one that just showed up on Ebay. But the guy wants $50 for it. Way too much in my opinion.

And I thought I had such a good idea. Hopefully you'll find one soon, for less than $50.

It was a great idea, for someone who isn't as picky as I am.

I wasn't going to SAY that.

Actually, I had come up with that idea earlier today. I saw Rusty's t-case **** laying there and thought "that's what Shaun wants" and then I realized it is splined. That got me to thinking about how to make it work and the rest, as they say, is fruitless. No, history! Yes, fruitless history.

I have more splined T-case ***** than I care to posess. I'd give all three to whoever can find the right T-case **** for me.

I've got want ads up on four different forums. We'll see if I can find one as quickly as I did the correct shift lever! Thanks Chris!

I'll check the local yards around here and see if they have any. I want one of those splined ***** if I find it though cause I need one for my 82 as well as the transmission ****. Guy I bought it from had put an aftermarket skull on the shifter and screwed the splines all up.

Didn't make it, my steering puked this weekend.
But I have a dozen friends from all over the N.E. who went, and all said it was a blast!

I need to get some photos showing how bad the interior of my truck actually looks. I bought the truck thinking that would be the easiest thing to fix and it looks like it is going to be the hardest. With that being the case I am trying to take care of everything else first.

Thanks! If you don't find one, still send me a PM and we'll work something out on your shift *****.

You "Southern Redneck Boy's" don't have nitro snowmobiles to race on grass, mud or across ponds!

Nope it gets below 50 and you won't be able to see me. I'll be bundled up like an eskimo.

Yep, exactly the same.

Here's a picture of the **** so you know what it looks like.
