ratsun73 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 oh and i forgot to ask can i use a toyota t case because those are easy to find around here, and i could find that a lot easier than a dana 20 or 18. also i still need to figure out the engine, so if anyone has a lead that would be much appreciated.

]2eDeYe Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 You will need a custom adapter to run the yota tcase Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 so i went to pick and pull in vancouver and found doors(75 ea), an l 18(280), and a 720 transfer case(180). will the 720 t-case fit? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 The 720 case will fit, but the outputs are both offset. Did you grab the intermediate drive shaft? Quote Link to comment
SandyMush620 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 The 720 case will fit, but the outputs are both offset. Did you grab the intermediate drive shaft? The outputs on my 720 t-case are both center drop. Did you mean offset from his axles maybe? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I meant they are both offset from the input. The dana20 only offsets the front drive flange. You could rotate the 720 t-case and have right or left side output instead of centered, although I don't know enough about the oiling inside the case to know if it would be a good idea or not :lol: Quote Link to comment

Never thought about it that way. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 With 4x4s my over riding thought process is about making the under carriage as tucked and smooth as possible :) 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 That could work in your favor for sure. Quote Link to comment

Boxcar Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Nice to se you're making progress. Sorry for the time out. has been a busy summer..... You may want to slide that front axle forward a bit. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Sorry I haven't got pics of the tcase yet, got kinda busy. I will try to get some this weekend. I agree with boxcar, it looks like you will hit the cab on compression. Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 hes i have about 2" of clearance so some thing needs to be done. i will probably redesign the front end. to get some more clearance. Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Measure you're eye to eye spring length. I may have an easy fix for ya..... Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 the spring eye to eye is 44 in Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I will measure a spare set of rear Yotas that I have. 44 seems a bit short . The Yota rears have a heavy offset. This will allow you're axle to be positioned forward enough for proper Clarence. <a href="http://s1109.photobucket.com/user/Boxcar2/media/304121653_zpsde83f482.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h423/Boxcar2/304121653_zpsde83f482.jpg~original" border="0" alt="Datsun 4x4 conversion photo 304121653_zpsde83f482.jpg"/></a> Quote Link to comment
