Hi All
As of this afternoon a NOS Transmission is being shipped to me from Tim Tygarts
http://www.obschevy.com/ of Nashville, Georgia USA. What is a bit strange is that the transmission was purchased by them with a lot of other Chevy parts probably 20 years ago. From the other photos it has only very light surface rust. They had to build a shipping crated to ship it so it will be interesting to see when it arrives.
This transmission was not listed in their online catalog in talking with the people down there they have a lot of parts which they have only a couple of which they do not list. So if you are looking for a particular part it may be worth contacting them. I have found them to very responsive to both phone and e-mails. Yes they do know how and are willing to ship overseas, though they did add the comment that shipping cost out side US or Canada often exceed the cost of the parts.
As I mentioned earlier I also found two used transmissions at Jim Carters
http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/ both of them have the same casting numbers as Chevy CMPs. But again they were not listed in their catalog or web site it took contacting them with part numbers and specific request. They likewise were very responsive getting back to me within 24 hours with photos.
I will be posting more detail on this on my web site near future.
Who was it that had a broken transmission case a couple of years ago? Did you find a replacement?
Cheers Phil
