Divorced transfer case
I just got done mounting a 69 cab on my 74 blazer frame & the top of the transfer case (NP 203) hits the floor pan just a little . Whats involved in divorce mounting a transfer case ? Would I need to build a cross member for the TC and would I swap out the rear tailshaft housing out of a regular style TH 350 then have a drive shaft made ? Anybody know ? Also whats the quality of these aftermarket patch panels everybody sells ? Thanx

You'd need to find a divorced transfer case. I believe the NP200 and NP202 are divorced style. Now dodge and ford had divorced style transfer cases, but not sure what applications or years you'd need to find. Do you just need to cut out the low hump and bolt in a high hump? That's what I did when I swapped a 2wd auto cab on to my 71 4x4 chassis.

Personally I would not add a divorced case unless you really want to use some oddball 2wd only transmission. With divorced, you have to worry about one more driveshaft and 2 more ujoints.
Anyway, divorced NP203's are rare as hens teeth and are drivers drop only from Ford trucks. You would have to find a GM, Dodge, or IH divorced NP205. Or you could just do a little floor pan surgery if you don't wanna open up the can of worms.

tc
Yea, I don't need anymore worms in my life right now (lol) The truck is a high hump but the tc hits at the very end of where the hump would end . I think it's because its a np 203 . I think I'll just raise the cab another 1/2" that might do it. Are the aftermarket patch panels worth buying , I have to get them anyway so I guess I really don't have a choice !

Not to mention that a divorced TC on a blazer would make for a short rear driveshaft and it would be at a way harsh angle, heck it might even bind up on ya. My stock blazer went through rear u-joints like nothin. I ended up shiming my pinion angle up to get it to stop it. Just some food for thought.
