Is this a np203 or? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok I have a feeling this is a np205. Its off a 79 350 with a 350 turbo tranny. It has auto lock outs but it wouldnt surprise me if someone down the line of owners changed out the manual ones. Anyone know if its a 203 or 205?

Ok please tell me how you can tell its a 205? Im not second guessing just wanting to learn something here.

Thanks

That is a 203. 205 has a 3 bolt cover on it. My 75 Jimmy has one. It is a fulltime case.

The only problem I noticed with it being a 203 though is there is no speedometer cable hook up on the pass. side like mine. Hmm...

EDIT- DOH! Directionally challenged today... My speedo is on the left side of the tcase right where it meets the rear drive shaft.

First pic shows it on the top on the passenger side.

It is a NP203

205 has three covers on rear. One where your plug is located.

That is a 203 case, Somebody musta had 8-10 too many beers one night and put your tailshaft housing on 180 degrees off

... Your speedo output should be towards the botom pointing at the drivers side. Also, i would turn that housing back down where it should be,it might not get enough lube on top.
