Wow did I score a great deal!
I found A guy with an 87 5 speed safari for sale as parts. It had a cracked block from no coolant last winter. The guy says he is going out for the day, take what I want for a hundred fifty bucks (Canadian). It was way to far from home to arrange a cheap tow, so I got busy and pulled out the 5 speed, clutch flywheel, starter alternator, driveshaft, steering column, Clutch pedal, master and slave cylinder, and the plumbing conecting them. A couple peices of interior trim. I could have got more but ran out of daylight... Anyways, I smiled all the way home, driving my other 5 speed astro with a loaded down belly full of goodies. Shes always happiest with a good load in her belly.

Ya, theres a pretty good steel 3+1 leaf pack, but it almost a 2 hour drive for me to go back. I asked about next weekend, waiting for a response.

Anyone need good pix of a 5 speed thats out on the ground?
