transfer case swap?

[blowinsmoke]

Can I swap my New venture 263xhd case and guts for a 261? Mine is shot and a friend has the 261 and I can have it for free. I do very little 4wd'ing, just gettin out of mud and fields when buying hay and so forth but no offroading is ever done with this truck.

The basic guts of the 2 are the same except for the shift mechanism. the shift forks are the same, but the shaft that goes through the case is different as well as the rod that the 2 forks atatch to.
