The Ford Dana 20 transfer case is gear driven with a cast iron
case. It was used in early Broncos from 1966 until 1977 and it was
used in some Ford pickups. It is drivers drop and it was available
with a couple different low range ratios all around 2.4:1.
The Ford Dana 20 looks a lot different than the Jeep Dana 20. The
Jeep Dana 20 is passenger drop of course, but that isn't the only
difference. Parts from the Ford Dana 20 can be used convert a Jeep
Dana 20 to have a better low range. Two write ups on this conversion
are located at http://www.off-road.com/~jweed/transfer.htm and http://www.srv.net/~jrcase/mod20.html
The rear view of the Jeep Dana 20 and the early Bronco Dana
20. You can see the case is completely different. The shift
rails are in different places. The rear yoke has been removed
from the Bronco Dana 20.
From the front view you can see the early Bronco Dana 20
does not use the Texas bolt pattern used by the Jeep Dana 20
on the left. The Bronco case is drivers drivers drop and uas a
yoke on it for a CV joint.
