88 SM465 long output shaft

[Louie krieger]

I have a v30 4x4 sm465 with a long tail shaft adapter for transfer case .I bought a hood one but didn’t notice tail shaft was shorter if I pull apart are the output(tail shaft) inter changeable?
Thanks in advance

Yes, they are interchangeable.

Thank you never did this before Anything to look for I was told they make a new third gear ass. To stop them from coming out of gear with only light pressure?

Honestly, I'm not familiar with any internal upgrades as I've been lucky enough to never have to fix the 3rd gear issue. When I swapped my tailshaft (short OE 10 spline to an ORD short 32 spline) I had to buy 2~3 big press on bronze bushings but everything else was reused except gaskets/seals.
