Welcome to the site. You'll def want a u joint style driveshaft. Might have to tap on the motor on the t case to get it to shift.

Pics are a plus and where are you located?

I've got another motor for your t case if you need it. A new one will cost about a hundred bucks from a parts store. You can find a manual t case for that price. Plus you are not too far away. We try to get together for Okie meets every once in awhile.

Good chance that your tank is rusted thru. Or the gasket didnt seal when the fuel pump was replaced.


Its possible that its in low range. Didnt mess w the elec t case too much. Thats why I found some manual ones.

Its not too bad. But its still a booger.

To get to the fuel pump , I would just cut an access hole above the tank.

buy a monster and tear that thing apart, it will treat you good when you treat it bad! i have no idea why you would have fuel on the pass side. i guess the fuel could be running down the frame and just drippin there.
those shift motors are super easy to change, but you will need a pick set or some really small screwdrivers to hook it up. when you unplug it, look inside the plug. you should see a little round red plastic thing, use the pick to get that out, then lightly pry back the little tab that holds the terminal pin. good luck and watch craigslist for parts trucks.
