Default Rubber shortages.....

....may have driven them to officially use old tire sidewalls......after all they were available for the taking......

The two speed T case can be a nightmare of adjustment with delicate screw in adjustment on the rods...... the trick was to find the right spot and retesting until I found a sweet spot...... takes a while= to adjust the rods one turn...reassemble and retest....... to find out you went to far and now have to unscrew one turn and try it.... the two sseed is really great for crawling over obstacles......or real pulling like digging out my Massey tractor when sunk in the mud...

Bob,
Please don't try to use the complexity of adjusting your 2 speed T-case to try to convince the Ford owners of your Chev's superiority...
I'm almost certain that instead of the Chevrolet method of mounting the shift linkage to a bracket on the frame and the transfer case also being mounted to the frame (allowing relative movement as the frame twists), the Fords mounted the linkage and lever to a cast bracket mounted directly to the 2 speed transfer case which should have greatly reduced the chances of the lever and case getting out of alignment.
