I know where theres a C-6 Trans. It needs a tail shaft housing and has been sitting in my mom's garage for 25 years (whether it works ???). If someone can get it to him, mom would be thrilled to be rid of it.

I spoke to him briefly and am trying to do what I can.
My contact in Vegas is really good but doesn't work weekends.

Thanks to all that responded. After using 9 gallons, YES GALLONS!, of tranns fluid to get from Vail to where I was, 35 miles north of St George Utah, I didn't think I could carry enough fluid to make it home, But guess what? After cooling down real well overnight, Only 5 qts brought me HOME. It's parked safe and sound dripping off the frame as I type. I know Bud was glad to hear it, and now HE can also relax... Thanks again to all that responded, kinda what I expected from the ***boat family with a member in need............. Ray

No problem, now. :) I know I'll never even think about the I 76 to the I 70 to the I 15 thru Denver and eastern Utah. I'm having problems and see the sign about next service 56 miles :skull: , then after that hole in the wall, the NEXT service is 110 miles. I got to thinking, gee, they sure keep the highway clean here in Utah, no road kill, none........Then I stated looking for anything alive out there. Nothing, no birds, lizards, hell not even any bugs hitting the windshield, a true "badlands" if I ever saw one........Never again thru Denver.......And by your remark about my truck I guess you're going to Valleyfield next year, solo, no A/C, no cruise, no tilt......etc. etc. etc.......C'mon, I'm ready...........Ray :) :)

I blew a tire yesterday afternoon, BUT, it just pitched some tread, so it held air long enough (10 ply) for me to get off the highway and find a Wally world. They only had ONE, and those rear tires were the same age so I wanted 2. No go, made it home anyway. Solo trips do have the advantage of never having to argue when, where, or why to stop somewhere!!!!!!........Ray

Glad you made it in one piece and you are correct about the Allertons. I first met them in the early seventies at Clear Lake. Good people... Now about that truck, are you going to be collecting bottles and cans like I have been doing for my new motor or do you have a better idea to fix the truck? :)

The stretch of road (I-70) from Green River to Salina UT has got to be one of the loneliest stretches in the lower 48... I've driven that a few times and only saw a handfull of cars/trucks comming the other way. Heck, not even the cops drive that road...

[GofastRacer]

Nice and peaceful!.. :cool:
