With the OD tranny track record, I'd stay away from used ones, unless you know the owner, and they had a Fairbanks, Superior, or TransGo kit installed early on, and an external cooler. Otherwise, get an exchange unit on eBay for $900, and do the kit/cooler. Or, get a HD kit and do it yourself.
Before you pull anything out, service the tranny that's slipping. Adjust the bands with the fluid and filter. You may get some mileage out of it while you look for a replacement. For the really good stuff, here's where I got mine....
