Help Identifying Transfer Case

I bought a bunch of new OEM Ford truck parts from a company that sold off their fleet. All the parts are supposed to be for the 87-96 F series trucks. They all have the Ford part numbers, but this BW transfer case only has this info:
part number 1756-000-002. Can anyone tell me what it is supposed to fit. It is new "old stock". I haven't been able to find anything on the net.

tag is broke off on my 13-56, but if you look at the casing, front side between tranny hookup and front driveshaft mount, it is cast into the housing, borg warner and underneath should say 13-56 or possibly 13-45

You need to find a: Ford# to Vendor#/Vendor# to Ford# cross reference book.

Basic Ford part number for a T/C Assy is: 7A195

This info can be found in select Ford parts books/microfiche (and current Ford books on CD & DVD).

Your local Ford Dealer's parts dept has these refs.

I checked the only one I have 1973/79: Found nothing, sorry.

Thank you for the help everybody. Here is what I have. The steel tag on the transfer case says C2892 and 1756-000-02 and 15' 20. There is also a paper bar code that says 1756-02. There are several casting numbers that start out with 13-56. I had heard that the 1756 was an improved 1356, but I have no idea if this is true. Does anybody know what this transfer case is? It is manual shift. I have photos, but can't figure out how to post them.

It sounds like a BW 13-56 by the casting numbers you have. I have no idea what a 1756 is, though.

I did a search for 1756 on this site and I came up with this very old thread:

www.ford-trucks.com/forums/94171-transfer-case.html?highlight=1756

I am still a little confused as to the application of the case. Is this supposed to fit the 87-96, or is it a specialty application? This is a manual shift case.

Ford transfer cases generally have a 6 bolt mounting flange. If it has that it should bolt up to any of the 4wd transmissions with the 6 bolt tailshaft housing.

I would also guess you have a BW1356. This catalogue has exploded diagrams of Ford transfer cases on pp 197-225. Maybe you can match up what you have with one of the pictures?

From reading that thread, it seems likely that the 1756 is an updated replacement version of the 1356.

You emailed me about the 1756 case ID. I had purchased what I thought was a 1356 case with a fixed rear output yoke from a distributor. The case had a lot of backlash so I contacted Borg Warner directly. I dealt with one of thier engineers about the problem. He agreed to send me a case with the backlash spec verified and I sent him the bad one. The invoice from Borg Warner called it a 1756. The metal tag also had 1756 stamped on it. From what I learned from Borg Warner, the 1756 is the same as a 1356 except for the fixed rear output yoke. This is how their numbering system differentiates between the different styles. I installed the case in my 89 F150 with the AOD transmission. Hope this helps.
