OD's Boat Anchors or good property??

[Rowdy]

Curious if these OD's are boat anchors or good property? Two of them seem to need some work. The other turns smooth, but bearings sound dry. I also have what is left of the transmissions. Looks like they were dissassmbled many years ago and not stored in a dry place. Thanks Rod

That part looks like a normal non od tailshaft --or the back part of od without the od

I took an od to Hershey from a chevy, the guy that makes BW overdrives into torque tube ods paid me 150$ for my 12$ garage sale od

I don't think those look like any overdrives I have seen, just tailshaft housings. In some areas they have a demand but it is scattered and sporatic. I just had a pair of complete transmissions for sale on C-list with a complete R-9 and R-10 do units, cheap enough and not one call. They went to the crusher.

I really hate to see good parts go to the scrap yard but that is your choice ! I would keep at least one good one if it has a popular number on it . Otherwise , scrap does add up and just wait till you get a good load to take and get some car money for the scrap ! That's what I did this summer and came home with $389 !
Just my opinion !

These did not go to the scrap, so I still have them. I am pretty much into Model A's, but often buy large parts lots to resell. Most of the current parts lot is 40's through 60's stuff and over 80% of it is NOS. Rod
