I have a 96 2wd Chevy that no longer has Reverse, 2, or overdrive but other than that it is a nice truck. I really don't have the money to go get a complete rebuild right now but yesterday I was dropping my girlfriend off at the tanning place and I saw a totaled out 95 Chevy across the street. Somebody correct me if I am wrong but I think that 4l60E's came in Chevy trucks from 93-up with the 98-up being the LS1 style trannys.
To make a long story short I ended up finding the lady that owns the truck and she said that it was her 17 yr old son and he wrecked it acting a fool. She said she doesn't know how much she wants for it and the motor has 30,000 miles on it but it is a 305 and I have no use for it. Basically she wants me to give her a price of what the parts are worth. According to the owner of the tanning place across the street it has been sitting there for years and her son really didn't care about anything.
The reason I am writing this is because I wanted to know if you guys think that my offer would be reasonable. Knowing the way her son treated that truck and the fact that it has been sitting over there awhile I was going to offer her $100 for the tranny and $100 for the rearend with springs and all. Does that sound reasonable to you guys? The reason I am wanting the rearend is because my locker is going out in mine and that is what caused my tranny to take a crap. It will stay locked when I am turning and basicly stops the truck from turning unless I give it some gas. One day when it did this I heard a loud bang and thought the locker finally took a crap but it ended up being my tranny instead. I was going to use the rear springs on my '84 Blazer.
Also if there is anything anyone wants off this truck let me know and I will see if it is damaged for ya. The right side (pass side) looks like it slide sideways into a post and then flipped on its roof. All the interior is gone. The grile and lights are gone but from the radiator back to the cab everything looks to be there (computers, a/c, fuse box, wiper motor etc..). I will try to take a quick pic with my phone but for now you can just visualize.
