Chain to Gear Tranny swap
I've got a 93 22re with original chain driven G58 top shift tranny and VF1A Tcase. I want to go gear instead of chain to open up to mods, so I've just picked up an '86 top shift W56 to match with the current shifters, and I have a RF1A Tcase from another truck to match up.
Surely this is a fairly common project as many vehicles have double Tcase and low gear mods, but I'm just wondering if anyone as any specific advice regarding this project. I've completed a regular removal/reinstall on a Ford, but I haven't yet attempted a swap between different components. Heck, there's probably a lengthy thread on this as well, but with so many new posts each day, I was at a loss to find one. This will probably be the first of about 60 mods I have planned. If things go well I'll have a build post up before February as well, so I can finally introduce myself properly. Thanks!

Sounds like youv'e about got it covered.
Id check to see if your speedo is cable or electric, I believe in '92 they went to elec. Which would mean the RF1A would need a Vehicle Speed Sensor from Marlin.
Other than that I believe it would be a direct bolt up.

The tcase and tranny are a few hours away, so I can't just take a look.
Great to hear they bolt up swimmingly! Thanks for the response.
