Default Gear box fittings

The second pic in the previous shot shows the rear of the shaft it seems to be quite short?.the next pic shows the support bracket in place, and the last shot shows the fitting that came with this gear box, any ideas what box this is? it seems to be a correct box but the output shaft seems too short? any comments would be of help,
Regards, Ron,

Default Modifications

Morning Bob,
As always you come up trumps, now the next question is, do you have or know where I can get the driven arms that I need to complete this carrier?
Many thanks for your reply . Regards, Ron

Default Bin platform

These show the newly manufactured bin platform and side wings in place not welded in as yet I will do that after the diff is fitted its much easier to fit the diff before these plates are welded in

Ford must supply at least two different main shafts for these boxes. The short one (internal thread) fits the English and Canadian carriers, and the long one (external thread), the LP2/2a's.
I think the short one is from the enclosed drive shaft models, whilst the long one, is from the exposed drive shaft trucks.
What I'd like to know now; is the long shaft the same as the one in the Dodge 4 speed truck box (New process)?
The cluster, 1st, 2nd,and 3rd gear are the same as Ford.
