most 40s by now are a lot of work. Neglected 40s are even more work. Flooded and neglected 40s, well you are one step below a burned up 40

just from the pictures the body looks solid, but depending on the severity of the flood and how long it was in there you just don’t know what’s good.
I would plan on a bad engine but who knows, and hope the gear boxes aren’t rusted to heck.

everythin else can be rebuilt and Probabaly needs to be anyways. $1500-$2000 for me as it looks solid.

I'll toss this small story in:

I bought a 40 that was left out with no top and no shifter in the transmission. Guess what? Yep. About a gallon of water came out first and pissed me off. I pulled the cover expecting the worst but lo and behold. No air got to the water so there wasn't ANY rust in the case. None. It's been running fine for 5 years now.

Favor?? Maybe...

Bought the old girl , got it home , oil pan gave me a 8 gallons of water , transfer case was the nasty of them all , trans had about 3 gallons below the oil , front and rear difs were not so bad , question how can I flush the trans and transfer case in place , or would a hot oil flush work , not keen on trying to drop trans and chase , motor isn’t stuck I can turn it with fly wheel
