229 it a vac shift for high, lever for lo, viscus couppler in high, costs more to replace.
208 is reg lever shift 2-4hi-4lo case, min to convert from 229 to 208 on a fullsize jeep is the correct 208 rear drive shaft, same shift lever can be used, if the truck does not have vac disco, man hubs can be put on.

Thanks, I have both & someone wanted to buy both of them & asked the question & I didn't know the answer.
THe tag on the 229 also has a 261 stamped on it.
It came out of a 86' waggy driverside drop.

are you sure the 229 came from an 86, that shoild be a 228, had an open diff in 4hi, instead of the viscus coupler.

I was told the rolling chassie was a 86'.
It has a vacuum acuator on it.
If I had a camera I would take a pic.
As I mentioned the tag @ the bottom has a 261 on it & then the holding screw w/a 86' & @ the top of the tag has the 229.
Hummmmm
228 and 229 are the same except for the internals, i guess you can believe the tag, all the info i've seen just says 86 had the 228, that's not to say it wasn't swapped out at some time.

Did you mean to say the 208 (not 22 & 229 looked the same but the internals were different.
What's different about them, the vacuume stuff?
So is this t-case a good boat anchor?
i meant 228, it is like the 229 vac shift etc, without the viscus couppler inside.
