Any reason to not use driver side drop?

Researching converting my 65 GMC 1 ton panel to 4wd.
133" wheelbase-I can run a divorced transfer case, correct?
Any reason to not gather a driver drop np205 and high pinion Dana 60?

I'd be using the truck as a back country camper.

Thanks for any help-still trying to wrap my brain around this 4x4 stuff.

If you can find a 78/79 Ford high pinion 60 in your area go for it. Even out here they are still expensive.

Re: Any reason to not use driver side drop?

Might be conflicts with clutch and brake stuff if you have that frame mounted? I think the fords used hydralic clutch operation to get the linkage out of the way???
