I can't imagine it having a CV joint, I am running a 92 D60 in my 86 with no CV, and have no issues at all.

I guess if I had it way up in the air, then a CV joint would help with the driveline angles, but not on a stock height setup.

I have no cv joint.

There is a wierd double u-joint set up, but that may be normal. I've never looked at one.

If I figured out how to do my own axle u-joints, I may just be able to figure this thing out and keep the truck.

That's part of why I love this old beast is that I can usually (with your guys' help) figure out how to fix stuff on my own.

Is this a specific transfer case that I am looking for, or are they pretty universal? Stamped or numbered anywhere?

I'm not sure myself. With a high pinion and length of the drivetrain, I don't see any cause for a CV. Maybe with the articulation of the straight axle over a TTB setup, Ford was afraid of binding?

That would be the CV joint at the transfer case end of the front driveline. It is not a CV like you might see in a FWD car.

Not sure but I bet you have a bolt on driveline and the bronco has a slip joint.

Well looks like I called that one wrong since it does have a CV joint.

The most important difference in 1345 and 1356 Ford transfer cases is the output.
Some used slip joints, some used fixed yokes.
Look and see if your driveshafts unbolt at the transfer case end or if you unbolt the axle end and slip the yoke out of the transfer case.

Yours should be a Borg Warner 1356.
The ID tag should be on the rear of the case.
Here is a page with parts and pictures of one exploded and a little extra info.
