WTB Anybody have a shipping crate for A-833 4 speed (69 B-body) ?

[ffgreg32]

Hello Mopar friends, I am looking for a used shipping crate that someone had their 4 speed A-833 (69 B-body 23 spline) transmission shipped to them, after buying new, or having had it repaired and returned. I'd like to buy the empty crate from you, if it is available. A picture and a price would be great, (Shipped to 54601)I guess Brewers uses double cardboard and styrofoam molded packing.

I modified 2 milk boxes one time and it worked out great.

Brewers uses double cardboard and styrofoam molded packing.

Captain Obvious here! Yes they do. Cardboard saves weight over wood and the Styrofoam keeps it safe.

Make a box out of cardboard, double it up, wrap the trans in plastic, set it on a piece of 2x4, fill the box with spray foam, leave open for expansion.
When it dries, cut foam in half horizontally.

Better yet, use 2 pieces of plastic, and/or make each section separately, and you don't have to cut the spray foam in half.

Then packing tape the heck out of it.

I've done it, works great.
