Yo Hook! In Umatilla, there's a junkyard called Bronco Dale's. Check inside the school buses for transmissions. I saw a few SM465s AND SM 420s when I was there a month or two ago. As a matter of fact, I was looking at one of the three Scout IIs he has and nearly tripped over a 420 that was on the ground.

For you other Florida wheelers/junkyard scavengers, besides Dale's three Scouts, he has/had three YJs, several XJs, lots of FSJ Wagoneers (two were Cherokees--one two door and one four door), three CJ-5s (two are Golden Eagles, one CJ-7, three ZJs (one is a 93 Grand WAGONEER), a WJ, three early Broncos, and one FJ-40 Land Cruiser. He's even got a 401 Javelin for you AMC purists. Plus he has never thrown away an axle, transmission, or transfer case. He may scrap the body and frame, but he saves running gear for future sale.

I posted info about it in the IH forum a while back hoping that the Scout guys would be interested in picking those three Scouts apart before anybody else, but I guess they're all building farm equipment with Chevy drivetrains so that stock crap wasn't interesting to them.

(And yeah, I'm the same soilantgreen from your local forum.) :jeep2:
