Busted "drop box" in SC

[Timnvt]

Hi Ya'll,

Haven't posted here much since the site was created.  I am broke down in Charleston SC and need help in locating a "drop box" for a mci5.  On a trip right now with family from Vermont to South Carolina and yesterday the gears went and left us stranded.  Anyone know of a good used "drop box" available anywhere in the Southeast part of the country?

Clarification. I'm in need of the device that transfers the power from the driveshaft to the rear differential on the mci5.

Email is terhune@wildblue dot net  cell 802-three two three-6347

Thanks,  Tim.

PS. Thanks David for the right name to call this thing.

Update----
         Tim's bus is at a shop in North Charleston, SC. He, his wife & 7 kids are at the Holiday Inn. We have 1 drop box located. It may have issues. We know there will be others to get a hold of come Monday morning. They just might be in NC or Georgia. We'll keep you posted.

Thanks a lot guys for all the leads and helps. Sounds like there are drop boxes to be had which is good news.  Not sure how much phoning and connecting I'll be able to do until monday. I was on the side of the road just south of georgetown sc.  Was able to locate a Landoll to have the bus transported to a diesel shop in Charleston.  I'll be checking with them Monday to see what arrangements I can make with them to install a replacement box.

Yes John, I do have a "spare" drop box back home in Vermont in the wreck.  If need be I would get myself home and somehow remove it and drive or ship it back down here.  And it may come to that.  But it would be simpler by far if a drop box could be had nearby and get this trip back into play while I still have my wife and kids with me.  That bus you helped me get parts from a few years ago had a drop box still in it.  I'm hoping I can contact the owner to see if it is still there.

You guys are the best.  Thanks.

Tim.

David at Southern Oregon Diesel had (as of a couple of months ago) an excellent reconditioned drop box and 3rd member at $4k for the pair and about $575 for shipping to VA.  It is on a pallet and ready to ship.  Good Luck.

Just be careful that you get a good box from them. They are part of the Easter "lineup."

God bless,
