Sam Caylor sells MCI parts.
And Sam has stated in the past that he does not have any Eagle or GMC parts.
You Might try Jefferson Bus repair in Oklahoma City,OK.1-800-813-9367 as for Ed or Mr Norris.
They have the corner on Eagle parts.

mci 5s have the same dropbox i got one 10years ago from him for another Eagle

[roadrunnertex]

Yes you are correct the MC-5s have the same drop box as a Eagle.
A old Eagle bus mechanic many years ago made mention that some of the ready mix concrete trucks also have the same drop box as the MC-5 and Eagle what make of truck I do not know.
Sam just might have some MC-5's parts still for sale.
The last time I talked to Sam he stated that he only buys the later model MCI equipment now.
He won't even buy the MC-9's now as they are to old.

This is scrap metal dealer, so I do not know how or if they will take off and ship parts. I went there and took what I wanted.

I apologize for my ignorance, but what IS a drop box?

[tomhamrick]

Buying used is risky since you do not know the condition and the gears in the box are very expensive. There a three gears in the box and one gear alone cost $800. The cost of a rebuild is almost the cost of a new box. I bought new as opposed to rebuilt since the cost was close and there was not a core charge. If I had bought rebuilt and my core was bad I would have had to forfiet my core charge and the cost would have been much more than new.
