1/2 ton axle question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

82 Silverado 4X · 12-28-2005, 09:46 PM

My 82 has what I remember to be 2:73 gears when I checked a few years ago. They are quite lame for my area's terrain even with the 350. Now that I have the body and interior done I'm considering swaping in some new housings with deeper gears. I want the swap to be quick with no glitches. Besides other 80's trucks with SM465's trans and NP208 transfer case, what other years/models will bolt right in without mods to the yokes and driveshaft's? Will the housings from late 70's trucks with TH350 and NP203 bolt in? I just don't want to mess with cutting driveshafts and changing yokes.
Thanks
