Hey Johnny. Measure the anchor pin that holds the trim cylinders to the drive. A regular III will have a 7/8 pin. A 3A, will have a 1'' pin.
A 3A will have a 26 spline propshaft, but, its not uncommon for someone to install the 26 spline shaft into a standard III drive.
If they are standard III drives, used, I'd say 2G per drive, 500 ea on the gimbles, maybe 500ea on the trannys. I'd think the whole package, maybe 6-7k. These drives used to be worth big money, as people used to buy them up for TRS conversions and what not years ago. Just don't think the demand is that high anymore for them. Good drives though.

You may have cresent 3,s with big shafts....still not 3As though. The leading edge of a 3A lower has less curve I believe. Many people used the #4 shaft in a 3 lower before the 3A was out. Not aware of any "cheater" shafts but a big shaft in a 3 case has worked great for me for many years. Good luck with the sale.
