    Nice find, sorry to hear about the t-case though. Someone should get those fiberglass fenders out of that junk yard. They are impossible to find.

      The input gear from the NP129 I'm parting should work. Make sure the trans isn't a 21 spline though. (it's a rarity, but they are out there)

        I have been looking at that T18/208 you have for sale even before I bought this truck, too bad shipping would be a killer.

          No fooling. I found a T5 that was built up I'd like to put in my truck for less than the cost of the Ranger O/D but I still don't know if it's strong enough for the V8 (built by a Mustang 5.0 guy)

              Those are called "Sportsides". I own a 1982 so I know.

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


                    Look it up.

                      With what little we know of the numbers of this "Sport Side" or Step side, or whatever.

                      The only known info to me is that from 1980 to 1983, there were 1289 made.

                      The first run in 1980 had brows, the rest did not, but if this number is true, we are an elite group!

                      Our friend Mudd in France, is as close to an FSJ historian as I know, has commented on this fact, not confirming it, but agreeing that it is what he has read.

                      Just a bit of info on a grand truck!

                          I know they are called "Sport Sides", I almost bought one brand new when they came out but I call them Step Sides!

                            Thanks, even with a bad trans and transfer case I feel lucky and being a Texas truck the rust is not too bad. The engine starts right up, has a new radiator and fairly new Holly 2 V carb. All this for $650.00. Now to get some primer on her, decide what trans and transfer case to put back in and hit the road and trails.

                              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.

                                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?
