BigMike;
Thanks for the reply. I guess it is good to know the gears have proven their mettle over the years. I will get some better pics when I get home tonight. As for looking around in the trophy truck room; I would really appreciate it. If you cannot come up with a compatable input shaft I will probably put the original transfer case back together and wheel it as is until I can do something better (read that - double case setup like you outlined). This isn't a stopping point; just a set back.
