cool so you going to have 4wd by sat

 

There is a new part # N2-83-288X that is for Toyota. The one I have has more than 1 hole pattern in the flange end. It also has 2 pilot diameters a small (Toyota) and large (Ford). They just make one part that fits both.

thats what i did to my ranger.

 

I see, well i got this one so hopefully it all works out.

 

Ah i hope, kinda depends on when this part gets here, what i need done to the shaft if anything then maybe.

 

yeah i could have done that. if they had good junk yards around here it wouldnt be a problem but all the ones around here think everything is new, so new price comes with it.

 

I hear that. Some are ok down by me, but the good ones are up by ryan.

 

you could always do what im going to do.... long travel Square front shaft.

 

Would work except my axle is a live axle so its gonna be spinning all the time...

So mine has to be balanced well...

 

yet another reason to upgrade to a 44

 

yeah i know i just don't know which axle to use...

Waggy axle would work but its low pinion.

78-79 F150 D44 Would work but i would have to get new axle tubes because of the C notches...

I want a high pinion D44, i plan on just buying upgraded TJ brackets so i can use the same front arms, shock setup, coils...

then new steering and trac bar....

 

get a 78-79 F250 d44 (its 8 lug). It is identical to a 78-79 bronco with out the wedges. or get a 1976 f150 housing, which has weld on wedges.

you have to remember though that HP44 are all Fullwidth, they dont make a narrow HP44.

 

thanks ill note that and keep an eye out...

they are all high pinion i assume?

 

yes but also all hp's are fullwidth

 

that shouldnt be too big of a deal. Moser Axle is just down the road...

 

hrrrmmmmmm....so the new part numbers that hosse posted is the same flange, just drilled for a Toyota correct? If so then I could just drill out the flange for the ford pattern. If thats the case, there is a flange 5 miles away from me suckas. :)

 

bah lucky piece of crap... i think it will work both for the ranger and the yota, just has more holes in it.

 

hehehe

Even if I have to drill out a new set of holes, no biggy, like you mentioned, beats having to buy a SL shaft.

 

Bought my flange today from Six States Distributors. Part #N2-83-288X. It was nice having one of them 5 minutes away from where I live. I bought the only one in Utah's inventory, the only one left on their website is located out of Idaho.

Looks like the flange is drilled for both flange patterns, so this is going to make the drive shaft conversion easy.

 

Is it the same as the one in the pics that Zach posted. I can't find any info on that part number. At the Drive Line Service Co. website where I got mine I found that number was replacing the N2-83-287x.

 

Yup. On the box it even says "replaces part number N2-83-287X"

 

Sweet, now if only mine would get here. lol that Neapco should still make it someone that needs it just needs to call them, they have a website

 

Whaaaaaa? Are you missing a word or two to make this a rational thought?

 

wow i must have been way out of it.

I meant..

that Neapco Company should still make the part, if someone needs one they just need to call them. and Neapco has a website.

that is little better lol

 

here it is. fit perfect to the jeep driveshaft. I need to shorten some bolts then i can mount it up.
