Sure thing, dude. If you can give me till tomorrow night (Monday evening), I'll get some pictures of my setup up here for you to take a look at. I'll get mounting, adapting (to a now unmarried 4x4 transmission), driveshafts, etc., OK?

ok, now this is not the first time i have seen something regarding a 4wd tranny or a 2wd tranny. could someone please tell me if there is any difference between the two? in my mind there isnt and the only thing that makes it four wheel drive is the transfer case. is there a difference? maybe just in gearing? i cant think of any way that the tranny could determine a 4wd vs. a 2wd!

If you are talking about a tranny for a divorced setup they won't neccesarily have the mounting point for the transfer case lever unless you get the 4x4 version. Lots of guys think this is a big deal, but I've used a 2x4 version in the past and just welded a bracked onto the crossmember for the t-case shifter.

Alright, here they are!!!!!
The first one is an idea of length. I picked this length because there was already a crossmember attached to the frame that accomodated the t-case perfectly. Sorry about the overexposure...the sun was behind some clouds and I had to artificially enhance the photo.

Here's a frontal view. This kind of shows the crossmember mounting.

Here's the adapter I made that makes the whole shooting match work. The adapter houses a seal and a bushing. The kicker of it all is that the seal and bushing are the ones that actually go into the tailshaft of the transfer case. If that isn't cool enough, the shaft that is going into the back of the transmission IS the original rear driveshaft that slid into the transfer case. The slipyoke for the transfer case is the same spline and diameter as the transmission output shaft. The plug you see on the transmission is the fill plug....the adapter uses a bushing, so I filled the tailshaft housing half full with ATF. The transmission is sealed from that side, so no mixing or running dry to worry about.

And lastly a forward-looking view from the rear:

The size is 2x3x.250 square tube.
The bolts are black oxide cap screws in 9/16x14. (I think)
The aluminum stock is 8x8x1.75

P.S. I just got done writing a 2-page nastygram to Weld as well as the pictures. I'm going to put it in the mail tomorrow......let's follow the saga shall we?
