4 speed and NP203?

[Blue_71]

was a 203 ever offered behind a SM465? im wanting to change my 79 to 4 speed, but dont want to have to change the driveshafts, so im thinking of just having a new chain put in the 203 and run it. i kinda like the lo-loc, lo, hi, hi-loc thing,

Yes, it was. Some people say 1974 only, but it was '73 - '75 era tops and not many were sold. They are out there.

I had one in a 73 K5 I parted out.

Check over on pirate. I've seen a few for sale there. I sold my combo for 500.00.

Or you can buy the parts to convert over from ORD or NWF.

You could twin stick an NP205 and get lots of drive options..

i think the 79 just changed directions... again . its my farm truck, and i only gave $350 for it, so i dont like putting a huge amount of money in it. i took the transfer case shifter off, cleaned, lubed, and adjusted it, and now you can shift it with 2 fingers almost seems worth just fixing Park in the trans and leaving it as is... put the moolay in my 67-72s instead LOL

its still getting 3/4 ton-d though... the local junkyard agreed to sell me a 14 bolt and 10 bolt, with warn hubs, out of an 83, for $200 if i trade in my 12 bolt and 10 bolt. i have a set of 8 lug whitespokes and 285/75/16s off my k20 i could put on it

edit: this shifter may be the reason for the easy shifting though its a 3 speed floor shift lever bolted to the NP203 shifter assembly
