1350 / 1354 Manual parts swappability. In particular, the front output yoke.

[zachis4wheeling]

Ok, I'm sure this has been gone over before. Or not. Anyways....

I'm working on collecting the correct parts for the doubler I'm putting in my truck. I have a 1350 Manual for the front case, and 2- electric shift 1354s. I really want a manual Tcase for the rear case though.

I have access to like 6 different manual shift t cases, and they are all 1350s. I would have no problem using this case, except that the front output on the 1350 is a slip yoke, and that just doesn't work for me. Does anyone know if I can swap out the fixed yoke from one of the 1354 Electric cases I have and make it work, or do I need to find a whole different 1354 manual case?

Thanks.

This.

The front housing is completely different.

Or you could try and do the final machine work needed on the 1354 to install the 1350 manual shift parts.

If I remember correctly you can see casting marks on a 1356 electric where to drill a hole and the 1350 manual parts should swap into the 1354. Something to look into as when I build my doubler it seemed as the shifting components would swap with some work.

They wont quite swap in. I've built a 13-54 manual using a 13-50 manual and a 13-54E (called it a 13-52 ). The main problem is that the 13-54 case is thicker then the 13-50 where the shaft goes through. Not all 13-54s can be machined to be as thin as the 13-50, the internal structure is a little different. It can be done though, if you want to get creative.

I just remembered. I have a brand new front output shaft from a 13-50 STX case somewhere. You can swap that into any 13-50 case and make it a fixed yoke. Let me try to dig it up.
