does anyone know if there are any other transfercases that will fit my truck or am i gonna have to put another BW 1356 in my info is in the sig. and would i be able to drop it and split the case look inside see whats wrong and put it back toghether or do you have really have to know these things to mess with them

 

The BW 1345 was used in the heavy trucks, but it ONLY used a fixed rear yoke, and yours is probably a slip. You can easily remove the slip yoke from your driveshaft, but you'd probalby have to have it lengthened.

The NP-208F will bolt up, but it's not as strong.

 

so you would recomend going with a 1345. and one from a 1990 F150 will work?

 

ttt

 

and also if i go with a 1345 i will have to get a driveshaft with a slip yoke right??

 

Steve probably knows more about what types of swaps fit perfectly, but I'd go with another BW1356 before a 1345.

Ford changed to the 1356 mid 1987.

 

np 208 will also work as long as its one with the slip yoke

 

the np208 is also a very strong proven unit. if you change drive shafts and get a transfer case without the slip yoke it will work tooand you can get rid of that crappy slip yoke design

 

I 2nd the NP208/NP205.
I'm looking for one for my truck,with a BW 1356
The slip yoke is a *****ty design.
Not too good for off roading.

 

I'm not recommending either one - just mentioning what WILL FIT. I've only ever used my 208, but I've seen the others in junkers, and I know the mounting bolts & input splines are the same. If you get one with a rear output YOKE, you can probably just remove your slip yoke and attach your u-joint to the fixed yoke. If you get one with a FLANGE (round & flat with ~10 bolt holes), you'll need a companion flange. I'm sure either can be made to work easily.

 

thanks for all the replys guys but i managed to find another 1356 and its the easiest way to go

 

Hey everyone I have a 87 Ford 4 speed d trans and a bw 1356 and am wondering if it will work in a 78 f150 thanks

 

I believe the output shafts of the transmission are different.

 

I pulled the trans and transfer case out of a 87 f150 just wanting to know if there would be any problems putting it in my 78 f150

 

Fullsize 4x4 transmissions fit any Fullsize transfer case.
