Your preferred transfer case?

Man, only about half of what you guys said in this thread makes any sense to me...... I want to know more! I'm in.

4407 vs 1356

Here is a comparison of the 4407 and a 1356. The 4407 (left) is a beast in comparison.

So then commence googling! What do you want to know exactly?

Would you happen to have any internal pics? I can get a 4407 cheap enough, but that lack of speedometer sensor provision pretty much kills the deal - mechanical speedometer needs cable drive.

i have a 4407 in my 62.
gonna be swapping it out for a 1356.
i need a slip yoke for the 4' driveshaft w/o a carrier bearing.
since were on the topic of transfer cases, is there any way to make this 4407 a slipyoke?
sorry for the mild hijack.

Do you have a matched set of tires front and rear? Are they worn the same?

I have heard stories of people putting the wrong ratios in when swapping front/rearends. Most of the time the truck acts crazy in 4wd when this happens, but you never know.

I've had 4 sets of tires on this truck. Stock, 38.5x15 and two sets of 35x12.5. All have been the same size and model on all 4 and no abnormal wear, the last set were brand new and this would be the second case broken with these tires. I usually rotate them whenever I have the wheels off for anything. Axles are both 3.55:1, I've seen trucks with different axle ratios, they won't move when things are locked. Maybe if you really tried but things would probably break right away on anything but wet ice.

This 208 seems to be working still, but I don't have much faith in it. Shame the 4407 doesn't have a speedometer drive, it looks fairly substantial from the outside and I wouldn't mind running a flange.

IDIoit, why not run the slipyoke in the shaft? One of the reason I hate slipyokes, particularly without a carrier bearing, is you can't drive on the front if you break the rear shaft. I had several ujoint failures with 1330 joints, none with 1350 though they seem to wear quickly so thinking I should have gone 1410. Regardless, I've had to take it easy on just the front a couple times just to get it home before I upgraded.

i have a short rear driveshaft, and a steep angle to deal with, a carrier bearing would need a bracket to hang wayyy down off the frame.

Short shafts don't need carrier bearings. Carrier bearings are for long multiple piece shafts. Put the slip in the shaft.

guess i hadnt though of doing it that way.
ill have to see what i have in my parts bin

And seeing how steep that shaft will end up I'd be doing a double cardan at the flange as well. If you have a Bronco shaft laying around it could work with maybe some minor length adjustment.

Check into one of the high angle units, several co's do them, i have em in the yota, could give ya an out
I'm notta fan of slipyolks.

i havnt been able to get back on this project yet, i hope soon!
