Got Step Side Fever Today

[War Wagon]

Call me crazy, but that almost looks more like a solder or braze than a weld. Very odd looking. Were the splines on the trans side ok?

Nope, gone too, I got a lot of rusty powder out of the transfer case input shaft when I cleaned it out with brake cleanner. That was the splines at one time. LOL.

I do have options, put the drive train out of The Compost Heep 360/727/208 in the truck. Put the drive train from The War Buggy in it, fuel injected 360/T18a/Klune/205 twin stick. Or I could just find another T177/208 and call it good.

Ford and Chevys are called stepsides. Jeeps have always been called Sportsides.

Look it up.

That's ok, I call mine a Utiline bed.

Here is a picture if the trans to transfer case adaptor.



Could of been out of alinement a bit and that is why the splines stripped off.

With that much crack it probably spread open and the bolts came loose, allowing the splines to skip and destroy each other.
