I bought a 95 bronco to use as a parts truck for my 93 F-150. I went and picked up an F-150 4x4 driveshaft today and noticed a problem. The bronco transfer case has the same 4 bolt flange as the rear diff, but the f-150 shaft is for a slip yolk. What do I need to do to change the transfer case? Can it be changed? Would I be better off just getting an F-150 transfer case?
Yes it can. Tailshafts on the BW1356 case swap over very easily. I swapped it on mine, I believe jermil did his also with a writeup, and shadofax has a good writeup on opening and refreshing a case.
An f150 shaft and t-case wouldnt work so great on a bronco. The bronco needs a double cardan shaft for the short wheel base, the slip shaft would be binding under there and eventualy fail. You can do like said though and mate the two if that is what you need, it is pretty simple.
It's more than just the tail housing. You'll need to tear it open (which I highly recommend due to the oil pump stay-arm issues they have) and swap in a different shaft that is for an F-150.
I have a rear shaft you can have. I don't know where you are, but I'm doing the opposite conversion and have the flanged bronco driveshaft sitting around.
I'm in Socal. Maybe you will be too.
