Well, picked up the tranny (M21) from the shop and drove it over to Master Tranny Man, Joel's house. It's got wear and Joel took these pictures to show the wear vs new. You can check them out below:
I've got more pictures that I will add, so you might want to check back later. I will also post some pics of the Engine that's being rebuilt under another thread. Thanks for lookin'.

I can't believe that as gentle as you drive that there would be any wear on your tranny Mickster...... 
Hey why not do a Tech article for Shark Bytes? Dennis would be purty happy if y'all did!

Wow! An engine overhaul and transmission at the same time? That's starting to sound expensive. I need to fix my transmission this winter. It works fine, just leaks like a sieve.
Ya know Micki, that's what happens when ya power shift the Greypoupon so much! 
Just look at it this way, with a new engine and tranny, it'll be ready for another 39 years when ya get her back.

I guess the guy that owned her before me drove it a lot and then let her sit. There were a lot of miles on her with I got her.
