    I have a stock Jeep.

    :v6:
    Dana 27A front
    T14 Tranny
    Dana 20 T-case
    rear axle?

    I've looked all over the rear axle and can't find any ID stamp? Where would it be?

    Are you sure you have a dana 20 transfercase, the dana 18 is stock until the 1972 model year. The stock rear axle is a dana 44 that has the pumpkin offset to the passenger side about 8" or so.

    My t-case isn't offset in the rear, only offset to the front axle.

    Is there anywhere on the axle that would identify it?

    That also means you probably have a dana 18 transfercase. Check to see if your parking brake is attached to the transfercase like this.

    Yours probably doesn't have the twin stick shifter as that was not stock unless it was a special order.
