So Austin is re using his 60's original split-case I built/geared for him a while back in his 60, and needed one for this truck since he is using the H42 out of the 60 (with the idea of a future h55f swap a bolt-in). So he needed a T-case but these days I am really stingy with my cores, and a new one was out of budget, so we thought it would be fun to try and build one completely out of random used parts. All the gears are high-mileage mismatched take-outs from regearing T-cases in other Cruisers, the main case is from a Nicaraguan FJ45 that had a crack and a bunch of stripped out threads that we repaired. We did throw a rebuild kit at it so all new bearings/gaskets/seals.. I think it will be perfectly fine for this 40's planned usage
