I'm in the midst of searching for a 420, so far have tried about 10 yards with no luck. There is one massive u-pullit within about 30 minutes, where if they had one it would be about $40, however, as embarrased as I am to say it, :-[I have never been to a junkyard before, much less a upullit. Cut me some slack, I've only been around cars for 2 years or so.
Anyway, I'm assuming I would bring a small tool box with some SAE ratchets and other tools, and a floorjack. I would then go to the yard, find a truck that may have a 420 underneath it, then drain the fluid and see if there are any massive chunks of metal and if all goes well, just take a friend and muscle that tranny out from underneath with a floorjack? I'm assuming it wouldn't be much different to take out than the 3 spd from my 40?
Sorry for my apparent inexperience and incompetence, I just wanted to know what I was getting into if I happened to make the trip to the upullit.
