Hi there,
When looking at the back of my t-case. Is this the intermediate shaft?
Also, I'm assuming it's a Dana Spicer 18?
-
Yes, that is the intermediate shaft and yes that is a Spicer 18. Here is a good page for reference information: https://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/transfer-cases/model-18/

Will T90 and D18 from a 48 2A fit my '50 V-35 (interchangeable with 3A)? I found a combo locally but it's in pretty rough shape. Seller is also selling a "'48 CJ-2A" rolling frame, so I have no reason to assume the gearboxes are coming from anything other than this jeep (assuming the data is indeed correct!). I'm asking seller to measure intermediate shaft. Though, as a spare it may not be that big a deal if it's different...
UPDATE (I did some homework ;) ) :
Dana Spicer (Brown Lipe) Transfer case data as best I can surmise with the info/photos provided by seller:
data plate: J 131127 tag says "Brown Lipe" and is lacking the "<Spicer>" stamp on the top-middle rear of the case
Case Stamp: C-15(might be 18?)-15-10-3
intermediate Shaft appears to be 1-1/8th. The image he sent isn't lit well, and he didn't affix the end of the tape measure to the bottom of the shaft exactly, so it's a little difficult to say definitely, but the amount of offset appears to suggest 1-1/8th" intermediate shaft.
Rear output shaft has a hole, suggesting it accepts a castelated nut.
There's a single shift pocket so this does indeed appear to be a 'small hole' case.
There's a small tag near the rear ouptut bore that say "H 26-7" that I can't seem to decipher.
With the info I have, I can reasonably assume this is a direct bolt up to my transmission/drivetrain. Can anyone confirm?
Finally, I'm not sure how much to offer... can you all take a look and advise?
The T-90 looks like a total rebuild (so, a core basically), but the photo showing the gears in the T-case seem to suggest maybe something can be salvaged in there (maybe).
$200?

A 1948 CJ-2A transmission and transfer case will fit in a CJ-V35.
-
Thank ya, sir!
Any idea how much to offer based on those pics? I don't want to offend the guy, but that trans looks like basically a core...
-
That transmission looks like it would only be good for the case. Everything else is too rusty.
Why not just repair the gearboxes that you have?
-
To prevent downtime. I'm just finishing up the steering box rebuild and that took about two months due to parts issues and other nonsense. Trans/tcase I have seem good, just a lot of leaking at the seals. Planned on getting spares, rebuilding them, swapping them in, then rebuilding the originals. So I always have a spare set and I can keep driving it.
I just love driving the jeep. Breaks my heart when it's down too long ;)
