If it's a '95 or older it should have a 1356 t-case. The 4407 has a round flange that the rear drive shaft bolts to with four bolts. The 1356 has a slip yoke. The difference in the t-cases determine the length of the linkage bar. The 3 3/8" bar is for the 4407 t-case mated to a ZF (manual) trans. The 4 3/8" bar is for the 1356 t-case mated to a ZF trans. Those measurements are hole center to hole center, so the whole bar it's self is a little longer than that. I drilled a 1/2" hole in some that I have made and it works fine. The factory hole is maybe 1/32" of an inch bigger. Just get you a piece of 1/8" x 1" flat bar and drill 1/2" holes in it where they need to be for what t-case you have. Use the plastic grommets from your old bar.

so i went to by 95 which is my total loss parts truck and took all the linkage off.

thing is on my 94.5 the transfer case has a little arm coming out of it with a pin on the linkage would mount to that i cant remove.

but on my 94 its got no arm and a threaded bolt with a 10mm nut. so when i took it off i had to remove the bar that attaches via the 10mm nut and go one bushing higher up and attach to that arm.

just wondering if maybe my 95 had a newer tcase in it? or does anyone know the differences?

Thanks
