C6 tailshaft

I just came by(free) a C6 with a tail shaft and housing that bolts onto a tranfer case for a 1979 F-150. i want to put it in a '55 F-100 2wd. Can I just change the housing?

do you plan on rebuilding it? If so, you'll likely need the 2wd rear output shaft( has threads for yoke to bolt on) and housing. If your not too far from Superior, WI... I could trade ya for one of mine. I have an FE bell pattern, and big block bell pattern, (also a small bell C4). They will need going thru as they've been sitting around awhile. Anyway, it would mean just a rebuild as opposed to tracking down the right parts. Just a thought.

havi, mine bolts up to a 351m. This transmission has been sitting for about 5 years. Worked great when it was taken out of the truck. Your probably about 4 hours north of me. I am by Wausau. I never rebuilt an automatic transmission before. On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it? There is a salvage yard around here that has just about anything you want so I am going to check that out on monday.
