T-18
I have found a T-18 at a yard for $200 is it realatively easy to rebuild? I've looked at the tech article on it and I am somewhat confident that I can do it. I've done carbs, clutches, and timing belts, but nothing as in depth as a transmission rebuild.
I just don't want to get into it and find that I will have to fork out serious money for someone to finish the rebuild.
Just out of curiosity how do you think this tranny will perform with a 2.75 9 inch rear end? The tranny I have now is a 4spd OD in crappy condition (i.e. no workie)
Thanks!

IMO the 2.75 and the 4 speed OD was a bad combo unless you are running tiny tires. I had 3.50s with 31s and it was doggy.
The T18 will be a good combo with that axle--unless you are running tiny tires.
Others here have rebuilt these without too much trouble.
