If you can find a divorced 205 transfer case from a 69-74 dodge you would not have to change much.

Thanks a bunch Jim... I was wondering if you knew exactly what spacers were used? At a junkyard, I noticed a few 2wd Ford box trucks use 8 lug aluminum type spacers. Not sure if they would compatible or would require machining.

The 208 and 241 are aluminum cases that have to be attached to your tranny. Where they are coupled to the tranny one has a male and the other a female and they slide together.

I had to do some looking at some junk trucks before asking another question. Your location suggestion for the np205 tc is interesting to me. Guessing the linkage would have to be alterated (no biggie)? As well as maybe replacing the carrier bearing with the tc? Then altering the present rear shafts, then having 2 front drive shafts made? With that location, looks like I won't have to fool around with my exhaust as well as having tranny options in the future. This of course is all without me actually crawling under there and taking measurements. Just trying to plan ahead so I don't lay up the truck too long, with racing season approaching.
