Transfer case swap

Hi,

I have a 85 F-150 with a 4sp and NP-208. The transfer case slips out of gear going down the road. I picked up another 208 from a C6 Bronco. I am wonderning if this swap can be made...the output shaft on the truck transfer case appears longer than from the Bronco. But everything else at least looks the same.

Any help of if this can be done or what to do about my worn out case would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Justin

The output shafts should be the same. I don't know if this will be an issue, but on newer trucks with the BW13xx case, the Broncos all have fixed yokes, and ther F-series trucks all have slip yokes. Meaning that if you go from one style to the other, you need a new driveshaft that will work between both.

Just something to take a look at.

Fixed Yoke on the Bronco XCase

That's what's wierd too, the rear output shaft is fixed on the bronco NP 208. Whereas the rear output on the truck is a slip yoke...

Thanks for your quick reply!

In that case, you either need a Bronco driveshaft that will have to be lengthened by a driveshaft shop, or a different t-case from an F-series.
