SM 420 for sale

[bikersmurf]

Got this message from the seller... Thought I'd pass it along in case any of you are interested.

howdy, sorry to bug ya, I was wonderin (since you probably wheel) if you know anyone that may be interested in an SM420 4spd? Insanely rare, the strongest, lightest and shortest tranny ever made, oh, lowest 1st gear EVER in production too (7.03:1!!). Anyways, sorry to solicit but yer pto gearbox ad reminded me of my ol Cruiser and if ya know anyone runnin small block chev I guarantee you'd be their hero. They stopped makin them in 1968, it's actually a Muncie toploader. they still use em in armoured vehicles, busses and five tons but haven't been in production since 68. $400

i know that sm420 has a lower 1st gear but still i would spend more than $200 for it.. or i would look for a h41

So are you making a $200 offer?

He asked me to pass it along... And that's his asking price. If anyone's interested, I can PM you contact info for the owner. If it's not worth $400 to you, but you're interested you can talk to or email him.


I am just trying to help him out, because he gave me a great deal on a 8274.
