Here is some info.I dont know about the driveshafts...

A ford t-case wont work with solid axle chevy axles (FORD has drivers side differential).There was 205s in some 73-87s.Most were behind 4spds though.And most (I believe) had slip yokes.Let's talk NP203s...all 4 tires receive power at all times. This was made possible through use of a differential in the back of the 203 that let the front and rear driveshafts turn at different speeds as just as a diff in an axle lets each axleshaft turn at a different speed. For off road use, the 203 had a "lock" position in which the differential was locked making the front and rear outputs spin at the same speed. Shift positions are: High, Lo, High Lock, Low Lock and Neutral.Like an open carrier,truck (jimmy) wont move if either driveshaft is removed.

Oh,if you need some parts,I will keep on the look out next week at the junkyard.Shipping on some stuff wouldnt be cheap though.Could probably get you a motor crossmembers,driveshafts,tranny hump,and a t-case if you would dare to pay shipping.
