Transfer case question
I have an 1985 f150 4x4 it has a NP208 transfer case and im thinking of rebuilding it or replacing it, i can get a BW 1356 out of a 1989 F350 and i was wondering if my drive shafts, and shifter would work on it. wich transfer case would be a better one?

i wouldn't waste my time rebuilding the 208... i give those cases a lot of credit considering what all i put mine through but i dont think they are worth rebuilding. i would try and find another one sitting under a truck somewhere. prolly pick it up for $100 at most.
whats wrong exactly with your current 208?

It was already making some noise but now the front drive shaft seal was leaking so i put a new seal in it but because the yoke is worn it still leaks so didn't want to waste any more money getting a new seal and yoke for this old T-case, i looked around at wrecking yards and all the used yokes they have are just as bad as mine. On of my friends has a wrecked 1989 F350 that he is parting out, it has a BW1356 T-case he said he would sell it to me for less than any other used T-case i could find so thats why i was wondering if my drive shafts would fit on a F350 T-case.

the 1356 is heavy duty. the chain is wider; but sometimes the pumps break and cause big damage to the guts.
