yea like where could i start looking for one

eBay is where I found 2 of mine.  First was just the trans, bellhousing and shifter complete.  The second one I found a complete 1983 GMC complete with a blown engine that had the A833 transmission.  Parted that truck out after I took the transmission all out.

     I just keep going to local yards, (found alot of 2wd ones).  Craigslist, and ebay.  Maybe even put out your own ad on those sites and see if anyone has one. 
     I was looking to buy a whole 81 -85 chevy diesel 4wd truck just to get the combo, but everyone I ran across had the sm465.  I will keep my eyes open and if by chance I run across one I will let you know.
     Your other option is go to drivetrain.com or others that sell them, they are pricey and then get parts at your local yard to finish if need be.

$600 is steep unless it is in perfect condition complete with shifter linkage and bell housing.

     If it is 4wd and complete like zieg said with the transfer case attached, not bad.  2wd, is a little steep, even if it has the bell housing and shifter. 
     I have found the transmission on line, rebuilt for about $1500.00 with shipping ( no bell housing or shifter or knob) for a 4wd one, so when I found my set up I jumped all over it, couldn't beat the price, even with shipping way less than that.
