transmission ID question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How can I tell what a transmission is just from a picture?

How do you tell a NP 203 from a NP 205?

What 4 speed trans is best for our trucks? SM465 seems to come up a lot....(How much is one going for or a fair price used?)

I am wanting to change mine from 3 on column to 4 on floor....

thanks

you can tell the transmission by the shape of the pan

the transfer case should have a little metal tag on it

465 is the most common

and if you go to a 4 speed you have no choice but to change it to the floor

kind of small but can you ID this?

OH ID a standard, now Im tracking. Someone correct me if Im wrong but it appears to be a 465 and 205. Havnt ever seen a 205 and 208 side by side but from what I remember it looks like my 205.

Yes that's a Sm465 Np205 combo.

Here is a Sm465 Np203 see pic below.

Great help!
Thanks!!!

How much would the set up in the picture I posted be worth?

The 205 transfer case is made out of cast iron... it's heavy SOB, but it's bombproof with no chain drive. All gears...
