Are you will to sell that part?
Need it to repair a hack the PO did in a 52 BD.
Please let me know

I'm holding on to that as I may need it for a bus I may have a chance at getting.

I did see someone make one. Think there may be photos in the BD build threads.

Finally got around to cleaning up the trailer full of parts.

All bolts came out except two rear shock bolts. Amazing how much force it takes to start some of them.

Transmission spins and shift through all the gears. Feels smooth. Should be good to rebuild. Reduction tubs are thin at casting but maybe the internals are good. Rear transmission mount looks good. Not even dented. Front mount is perfect but beam is rusted bad at ends. Will be good to repair a cut one.

Front beam is rusted out but still lots of good parts.

Found front shift coupler was perfect. Was covered in hard grease. Park brake leaver and parts was good also.

Now to find a safe spot to pack this stuff
