Need tail shaft housing for 1982 auto w/lockup converter.

Buy it, sell it, negotiate, haggle, drag it out from under the workbench or behind the garage and make it someone else's problem!

Looking for tail shaft housing for 1982 3 sp auto. Noticed leak...dis-assembled...found large crack with bit missing. Anyone know if others interchange? Also need wiring harness from cowl back. Pick-n-pull got real nasty when I tried to purchase a tail shaft only. Thanks..

The 1981-82 extension housings are the same, gas & diesel. 1983-84's are different, though.

Notice how much longer the '81-82 extension housing is? When the OD section was added in '83, they shrunk the extension housing to make it all fit in approximately the same overall transmission length.

I have three of the later ones, but no early ones.
