Getting Tired of this...Project Blues

[lks dcvn]

So I have the truck that I am building for my Dad almost done (or so I thought) - I noticed a significant transmission leak on my driveway...

I didn't have time to address it so I took it down to my local mechanic to have him run the dye through it and locate the leak.

He calls me back about an hour later and tells me that every seal on the damn thing is leaking -

He then tells me that - since every seal is leaking - that I should just have it rebuilt (names another local guy to do it) since they will have to tear it apart anyway to fix the leaks.

He then gives me an estimated price of $850 to R&R and repair it - NO WAY.

I have come to the conclusion that it won't be done this year (I was hoping to have it [mechanically] done before I left for vacation this weekend). I was wrong...

Anybody got a rebuilt 2wd TH400 (with paperwork) sitting around that I can buy to get this thing done and not pay $900 with tax to fix this one?
