Anyone have a 1987-1988 STX High Rider (T-Case Photos)

Jim Oaks · Nov 8, 2018

These Rangers reportedly came with a BW1350 that had a front yoke, instead of the splined front receiver. This yoke is supposedly smaller than the ones on the BW1354. If anyone has one, I'd like to see if you could post a photo of it for reference.

Thanks.

bobbywalter · Nov 9, 2018

I sold a guy a standard driveshaft and he got all huffy because it didn't fit. Somebody had stuck a second gen nose on a first gen high rider.

So I got to sell him a t-case too.

My buddy has one, if I remember next time I'm at his place I'll snap a pic. It does in fact have a fixed yoke front output and is an '87.

Years ago I had a Bronco II that had a fixed front output yoke 1350 too - how it ended up in there is anyone's guess, probably swapped in, but I was real surprised to see that.

I have 3 or 4 of these t-cases around in various levels of disassembly. I also have what was at the time of purchase, the last known front output shaft for a high rider in the country. You need some parts?

Just want pics of an assembled case.

Didn't the rear yoke on all of the 1350's take a 1210 u-joint? I know I replaced my yoke with a flat flange I got off of a '86-'90 Bronco II BW130, and used a flange yoke and 1310 u-joint back when I put the 8.8 in my '83 Ranger. Using the flange and yoke allowed me to run the larger u-joint and ditch the u-joint straps.

If anyone has any BW1350's laying around, I could use some photos showing the yoke on the rear, and the flange if you have one with that.

I could also use a photo of the driveshaft attached to the BW1350 yoke with u-joint straps holing it on, and a photo of a BW1350 or BW1354 with the driveshaft held on by a flange yoke.

I'm putting together a page specific to the transfer cases used in the Ford Ranger. Feel free to contribute anything you think I should add.

Mine had a 1210 cross with the straps. I blew one last spring and the parts store had to order it, the guy asked if it was for steering since it was so little.

There is some stuff you might be able to glean from here about shifters and linkages, I can get unwatermarked photos if needed and can recreate Totalled's pics since unfortunately he can't (credit him for it though, he majorly bailed me out on that)

My 1350 is in the barn yet if you need pics of that not mounted to anything.

A follow on to that could be how other t-cases fit in a RBV too. :icon_idea:

You would have year to year differences but it was a bugger to figure out what fullsize t-cases actually look like in a RBV frame and some of the nuances of installing them.

I'll have to dig deep to find all the info but I know the 13-50 and 13-54 used at least 3 different front adapter plates. I have a list of which plate update number was 4 or 6 planet gear, which was metric or standard bolts, etc.

Look forward to it.

Most common on the 1350 rear output is the flat flange - the nice thing about that is the driveshaft side of that is the same bolt pattern regardless of whether you have a 1210 or 1310 style u-joint - it only gets bigger on the axle end (still has a 1310 joint but larger bolt pattern.)

Short wheelbase trucks would have had the double cardan CV style rear driveshaft, hence the different t-case yoke.

Supercabs had the flange then? My std cab longbox had the yoke for the rear output.

Axle end of the driveshaft had the tiny pattern, I drilled and tapped the 8.8 flange to match it. Both ends had 1210 crosses.

I didn't think they went to 1310's until the second gens.

My '83 standard can long bed had a yoke. I swapped the flat glange from a Bronco II and a flange yoke for a 1310 u-joint. I had a new drive shaft built when I swapped in the 8.8.

I thought the BW1350 had a rear yoke on standard cabs, and a flange on extended cabs? Did all the BW1354's have a rear flange only?

Of my four 1st gens that I have owned only 2 were 4x4s, and none were standard cab Rangers. Both the 4x4s had a companion flange.

I have never run across a 1354 in anything that had a yoke on the rear output.

However, if one so desires a front output yoke from a 1354 can be installed on the rear output. I did that on my B2 trying to ditch the CV shaft for an Explorer front, but it was a hair too long and hasn't ever become important enough to get one shortened.
