I want to take a chevy NP 208 and have a shorter collar drive shaft built to divorce it to my NP 435. I know I will have to drill the cross member holes for the case and have a d- shaft built but what else. The donor is a 84 1/2 ton chevy 305 auto. my truck 78 f250 2wd NP 435

you putting a chevy front axle under your truck?

 

T- cas, not axle

 

different offset, chebys diff is on pass side, ford is driver

 

so it will not mate to a 2wd NP 435 via a biult drive shaft

 

oh it will, but your front drive line will be on the wrong side. just got divorced 205 or d 20

 

thats what im getting at, your front drive output will be on the passenger side versus ford's driver side...you for a 4x4 front axle you will need a chevy or dodge front axle

 

it oculd work with enough lift and CV's on both ends of your driveshaft, but thats a lot of work for trying to run chebby CRAP! just get a ford 208 and stay true!

-cutts-

 

my truck is a 2wd. So YEs it will work??Maybe?

 

It won't work unless you put in a front axle with a passenger side output. Ford front axles have drivers side outputs. I would stick with Ford parts myself. Don't want to contaminate a good truck.

 

Maybe I can help.

Yes, the t-case will bolt up.
But, in the end the output is on the pass. side.
You can not clock it and run it upside down so that the output is on the drivers side.
If you bolt that t-case up, the driveshaft will not bolt up.
You need a ford t-case or a GM or dodge front axle.

 

You guys aren't getting what he is saying, his truck is 2wd, he doesn't have a front drive axle just wants the low range unless i am reading him all wrong.

 

thanks, moster
Yes you read me right!2wd/low range... BINGO

 

well if thats what u want, put it in there. itll work with a diffrent driveshaft.

 

US Gear underdrive. I believe Gear Vendors makes one too. I have GV overdrive and love it. Spendy, but cool.
