Advance Adapter
The Ford T-18 adapter to the Cruiser 16 spline transfer case is 4.262” in length and adapter material is 356 T6 heat treated aluminum alloy. The adapter kit includes an adapter housing, 16 spline spud shaft, new T-18 output shaft, o-ring, sealed bearing, gaskets, fastening hardware, and adapter instructions.
Transfer Case
This adapter assembly fits 1974 to July 1980 16 spline transfer cases. The drive gear has 16 internal splines and a diameter of 1.259”. The transfer case bolt pattern is the same as the earlier 3 speed transfer cases.
Transmission
This transmission, found in 1965 to 1985 Ford pickups, is identified by a case length of 11.875”. The 1st gear ratio is 6.32:1; 2nd 3.09:1; 3rd 1.69:1, and a 1:1 4th gear ratio. The adapters we manufacture for this transmission come with a new main shaft. Ford was not the only manufacturer who used the T18 transmission. When searching for a T18 in salvage yards, make sure the bellhousing bolt pattern has a dimension of approximately 8-1/2” across the top, and 6-1/4” top-to-bottom. The input shaft stickout should be approximately 6-1/2”. Our adapters will only work for the Ford T18. When using this transmission, you will have to fabricate the necessary bracketry to connect the transfer case shifter linkage. We do not offer an adapter kit for the 10 or 19 spline Land Cruiser transfer case.
Options
