I have a 96 with a 1354 electric shift that has the fixed front yoke i just got a 1350 manual the does not have the fixed yoke on it. what drive shaft will work with this setup or should i keep looking around for a 1350 or 1354 with a fixed front yoke so i can just use the same driveshaft?

any 1350 driveline out of a D35 (~1990+) truck will work.
Actually in '90 is when the BW1354's started showing up. Besides, there is no difference in a '90+ BW1350 as there is a pre-'90 BW1350.
You can take any BW1350 front drive shaft and shorten it by 1" to make it work with the Dana 35 front axle.94 4x4 said:
why would you want a "down grade"?
The only difference in the '96 BW1354 and the BW1350 is the front output shaft.

i got my 1350 from a '94.
i suggested a '90+ truck because it will likely have a D35, thus he wont have to have the driveline shortened. he could certainly pull the drive line from an older truck if he cant find one from a D35/1350 equipped model...its just a little more work and money.
the 1350 has a "weaker" 4 gear planetary gearset vs the 1354's 6 gear. but ive seen virtually no failures of either gearset.
I think some of the first years of the 1354 had the same 4 gear planetary setup also.

I have the front output shaft which is the part needed to convert a slipyoke 1350 to a fixed yoke 1350. It came out of a case that my buddy decided to use in his doubler project.
PM me if your interested in buying it.

The 1350 was put to rest after mid-'90, along with the D28 (no D35 was ever paired with a 1350 from the factory).
A 1350 in a '94 was likely swapped in at some point. Like said, it will fit no problem in a '96 if you shorten the 1350 driveshaft 1" (some users have reported being able to use a shaft from a '83-'87 manual trans truck without any shortening).

i can guaranty the case was original. i knew the old couple that owned the truck. they rolled it one winter and parted it out.

No possibility they ever took that truck into a shop for t-case service?

no. he was a retired mechanic, did all his own work. and taking it to a shop in cordova constituted a $180 ferry ticket and a few hours drive to anchorage.
i asked him what the deal was with the t-case because (at the time) i noticed the different front drive line. we got into a long discussion about what all he had done to the truck over the years (as old guys will tend to do
), the t-case was the original case.
it wasnt until a few years ago that i learned it "should" have been a 1354. if id known that at the time i would have looked into the subject further.

Yeah, I think something may be up with that. Like the D28/35 hybrid thing for the '90-'92 years, I've never once seen such an animal, or been able to find credible documentation that it ever existed. I guess only the guys who worked on the assembly lines that year could absolutely know for sure 100% though.

i still dont write too much into it. ford has done enough weird crap over the years that not much surprises me. they seem to throw in whatever parts are nearby and call it good.
all i care about is the truck had 40K miles on it, the t-case bolted in with no mods and functions as expected. i even bolted my 1354 e-shift back up to his truck for him so he could move it if he needed. everybody wins
