pre'67 3spd case 4wd shift fork modified to post '69 case? (1 Viewer)

[Benjitis1]

Ive got a '72 3spd transfer case that has an extremely worn 2wd/4wd shift fork, causing my t-case to pop outta 4wd into 2wd while driving. I have a shift fork from a vaccum operated '67 3spd case that is the same dimension, but needs a hole drilled and tapped for set screw to fit in newer 3spd case. Anyone done this? Figure id give it a try. May give another option if people cant source a shift fork for their year of t-case.........or someone could sell me theyre fork for dirt cheap

Well, tapped and drilled vac shift fork to fit. To do it, you gotta be pretty precise with your hole (dead on, no angles.) And found out im not that precise Had to "shave" the set screw to get it to work, but it can be done. Will get me through my next wheelin trip, but im about to have a "like for like" replacement coming soon for when i rebuild my case.
