A big Question

can a 1995 ford E4OD 4x4 be converted to 4x2, I know the extension housing is different but not the gasket to it. Is it possible and is the shaft long enough?

Yes it is possible but the trans must be completely dismantled to change the output shaft.

The better question to ask is; Can a 4wd E4OD be used in a 2wd truck?

Yes,with a transfer case.You wont have 4wd of course without a front axle but you'll be able to make use of a 4wd trans and have a set of low range gears to use.You'll need the driveshaft from the same 4wd and wheelbased truck or have yours shortened.
You can always bolt in a front axle and drive shaft down the road or even at the same time and have a full 4wd convert too for that matter if your 4wd E4OD parts truck still haves them and the price for a package deal is good.

..........Oh you have an F350.I was thinking F150 for some reason.The full 4wd convert isn't that easy like the F150 but the 4wd trans and t-case info still applies.
