Someone (frederic?) had posted some pics and verbiage on a 2 speed rear end out of a van a while ago. I'd do a search.

Yes, I did, I was looking for one, until I found out there were rears in the 50's that had this function, and I was unable to find anything "newer". While a junkyard type of guy all the way, I didn't want to slap on something from the 50's that I'll struggle to find parts for when it breaks.

And everything breaks eventually.

So, I bit the bullet and got a gear vendors unit. Used, off-ebay, the 3D0172 unit which is designed to mount between the two driveshafts on my crewcab, replacing the carrier bearing in the middle.
