Default 30 & 40s Ford and Mercury Transmissions

Hello I have 8 transmissions that I am wondering what kind of value they have since they have been sitting outdoors here in Nebraska for a lot of years.
Here are some of the numbers and info I have. Any info would be great. Thanks!

#1 59T-7006 T80-1A
#2 *I8-496554 9* 1939 Ford V8 91A
#3 *I8-5223506* 1040 Ford V8 01A
#4 222 NA310
#5 *99A 700I6* 81A 1939 Mercury V8
#6 799A 1742805 47 Ford V8 79A
#7 *99A I043686* 40 Mercury V8 09A

The value will depend greatly on their condition. If they have been sitting outside, they are likely only good for parts. However, there are some desirable parts there. The '39 Ford and '39 Merc transmissions would be the most valuable. Even if nothing else is usable, the 2nd - 3rd shifter fork from those transmissions is a sought after piece.
The 4 speed truck transmission is not worth much in any condition.

The bellhousings and starter plates are probably worth more than the transmissions.
However, the 39 top shifters might have some desirable parts.

If the gears are rusty from water damage, there may be only a few usable parts in them. The top shift cases hold their value pretty well and so do the double detent shift towers if they aren't to rusty. The T8 truck transmission might be a little harder to get rid of but someone would need it somewhere.

Nebraska is not as dry as southwest Kansas where I'm from originally but if the transmissions were setting in such a way that water didn't get in, there just might be a chance for some of them.
