[Duffil]

Having two of any combination is the way to go.

As for the early ones they are the same inside.  You want the early ones as they are gear drive.  Later ones are chain drive.  To do a dual case setup you need a top shift for the rear one I think. Look here, Marlin sells the conversion kit and there are instructions there too.

I run a forward shift on the crawler box and a top shift on the rear case.

If you have a bench seat, there will be more room to shift with a forward shifting t-case.
In most cases, You will need to match the t-case to your transmission.

All dual case setups require a top shifting rear t-case.
