Default Getrag Help!

hey, i have found a decent deal on a getrag360. I bought a 91 d250 to do a swap into my 75 f250 4x4, as some of you know the 75 fords had a divorced transfer case. The getrag 360 is a 4x4 transmission I just need to know if the only part i need to change is the tail piece to make this tranny 2wd? or do i need to change any output shaft or anything else?

Thanks

You have to pull the main and input shafts and strip the main of all the gears and bearings and put in a 2WD main shaft then the 2WD tail shaft I have a main shaft if you want to go that route and a rebuild kit is not a bad idea since your that far in there

if you want to stick with divorced, get a 2wd trans. Those little things add up. If your deep enough into it, you should consider just getting an nv4500. They aren't terribly expensive if you shop around, last one i got for $500.

Ya, if I could find one for 500 I would buy that. I have not seen many up in the Seattle area. The only transmission I have seen latley was a 4x4 getrag, and im not sure I want to do all that work to change it over to a 2wd. What is different about a chevy nv4500? I have heard that they are build weaker then the dodge ones, what about bellhousings bolting up the same? I.e would a cummins bellhousing bolt to a chev nv4500?

bellhousings will interchange. input shafts between cummins and late chevy 4500 without the granny 1st will interchange with their respective retainer.
the chevy shaft is thinner but has a harmonic dampner.

hey Big Bad Diesel, how much would that shaft run? or would you do a trade my old 4x4 shaft for your 2wd shaft? and what about a tail shaft?
