Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
That's also the same horn we use for the D's (Ron, Allen, bobby) and Canadians like you.

If I ever find an aplenhorn at an estate or garage sale, I'm buying it and painting it in TRS colors.

Doesn't a Jeep case have a smaller input spline size than the Ford case? A fullsize Ford should be 31 spline, I thought the Jeep was like 23 spline or something really tiny.
It has been a couple years but what I understand from what Bobby told me is with both t-cases at hand you can mix and match enough parts to end up with the small case on a Ford trans running a Ford speedometer.

Jeep cases are few and far between in my area so i didn't go that route (after a lot of looking) and opted for the more readily available (in my area anyway) NP205.

Would be interesting to see the bronco 208 and Jeep version side by side. Honestly it doesn't look like the output of the bronco case could be any shorter than it is now. If I have time this weekend I'll go searching a couple yards and see if I can find a Jeep 208 to compare.

Not so much the output, the overall width so it fits between frame better than the Ford one (and would pull the driveline closer to the trans)
