[80toyontons]

 So I have an 1980 toy with the 4speed and top shift, is this the case and tranny I can use to stack cases?

IF i GO WITH THE L53? CAN I STILL USE THAT CASE?

[jonathan82toy]

Yes, you will want 2 topshift cases

BEHIND EITHER MY 4SPEED OR THE L53 RIGHT?

[toyotanner]

yes you can use the 4spd (L43) tranny to do duals or the 5spd (L52) to do dual cases you just need another top shift case

Or Glen can buy both of us an already built crawler box from marlin 

On topic there is plenty of gear driven tcases around and marlins dual case adapter is perfect.  Its something I plan to do in the near future. I have both tcases just lack the adapter atm. 
Also if you plan to drive your rig as a daily driver then I would get an L52 transmission since one its a 5 speed and 2 its has a somewhat upgraded input bearing or even better yet get the trans I am getting which is a marlin built L52 with G54 gears and heavy duty seals ect.  I cant wait to get mine and finally not hear the whine of my input bearing.

thanks guys!I just wasnt sure if my four speed would except the cases. Ima run the 4 speed for a while cause its gonna be a trail rig only. as far as setting up the cases thats cake! I watched joeyotaman do his in my garage last summer. Advance adapters has a adapter plate out with two bearings on the input shaft, it looks very tempting. anyone heard anything on that?
