HELP ~ 1987 Waggie TRANS & T-CASE ID
Checked out a 1987 Wagoneer for a friend today and need help identifying the Trans and T-case.
No Z-code
too old and the stickers say 360 with just over 158K on the ODO. I forgot to check which side the front diff is on. 
The driveshaft to the rear diff is on the passenger side. There is a round tag ID tag just above and to the right of a large round plug/nut that I'm guessing is a drain plug. Unfortunately I wasnt able to tell what was on the tag, too much slime. 
To the right of that there is what looks like a dual wire in a sleeve coming out just to the left of the cone that the rear driveshaft connects to at about the 8 o'clock position. Don't you just love my tech-no babble?! Inside on the tunnel on the driver side is a lever that you pull up for Lo and push down for Hi. On the bottom left corner there is a slide lever with 2WD on the left and 4WD on the right.
We need to determine a value on the Wag as a whole and what she might take to get on the road so heres the run down. IF you have any goodies to fix her up I'd appreciate your info. The guys on a budget so hopefully this wont cave him in.
The good ... Shes pretty straight with only surface rust in small spots/dots, the interior is decent, all the glass is there, has A/C that blows cool, has cruise, better than stock radio, what appears to be Marchal foglights in tact, power locks/windows/seats, solid glass, solid lenses/lights, roof rack in good shape, and runs pretty good; doesnt stumble when the a/c engages, the radiator was replaced a few years ago, the carb rebuilt, and trans was rebuilt about 10k ago, all fluids looked ok, decent RS 5000 shocks, and it has the towing receiver.
The half n half ... Its got woodgrain thats faded in places but in tact, the tires are almost done but will roll for a lil while, and the drivers window doesnt go down, the sill on the drivers rear door is corroded.
The not so good and down right ugly ... The trans shifts ok but something makes a slight grind/growl when it settles from P to R and D to R which could be the t-case from what the PO was told as well as the rear diff will most likely need R&P done, their is a nasty build up around the neck where the upper rad hose connects to the block, and she is wearing a good coating of rust prevention a la a 10w30 so the valve covers will need R&R after a MAJOR bath.
Some notable stuff : no flexy hose from the air filter to the front grill as required by the smog nazis, and it seems like the air mixture flapper in the intake snorkel isnt working (another fail point), and no fan shroud.
I'll try to update when we get a chance to take a better look and have the time to pull it off. Thanks for reading this and I look forward to the input.
