    1986 cargo van with bad manual transmission

    I got this van as a restoration project. It has 105344 miles, ran excellent when I got it, but the transmission won't stay in gear.
    I wanted to start the restoration after I got the lien title, which took 18 months and $600. I am no longer interested in starting this project.

    Located in Crescent City, CA, I got the van in the Mt. Shasta area and it is almost rust free.

    Complete and suitable for restoration, asking $600

    Will it hold any gears and is it still running excellent? When was the last time it saw the highway?

    I'm interested in parts if you are parting it. I am in a situation. Really need a transmission mounting bracket. I took my trans to get opened and found needed a main shaf. Well the company went out of business while I hunted fo one and they gave me no notice and threw it all away. In the mean time I already paid through nose and had a used trans shipped to me. Well he gave me one of two mounting brackets (and one of two shift linkage grommet).

    I would also really love fusable links
