74 GMC 4WD pattern question/concern... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Repost, but I kinda need an answer before work tomorro...Sorry
I dont know the gear diagram for 4WD. My wife dropped a toolbox on the floorshift today and I was wondering if yall could teach me the gear position locations. I havent had it very long, so my knowledge is limited. I believe its factory 4WD with a 205 transfer case, but I could be wrong.
My terminology sucks too, this is my first vehicle that didnt have push button 4WD. And it has a full boot too so I cant just see the slots. Unless...they are underneith? ANY info is greatly appreciated.

thats a np 203 notice the lack of the 3 bolt cover in the middle of it, thats the easy way to tell them apart, the 208 it all aluminum.
so this ones pattern goes
low-lock
low
neutral
hi
hi-lock

205's most of the time have a round shift lever and 203's have a flat shift lever like a hurst shifter, in fact some came with hurst stamped on them.

What gear does the truck need to be in to shift? Does it matter?

All well and good, but the part I don't understand is, how is dropping a toolbox on the shifter connected with wanting to know the shift sequence?

Maybe it knocked the shifter into neutral?...and he is looking to get it moving again.

The pic makes it look like the truck has a body lift. If so, it may not shift into the gears at the extreme ends of the travel. The pivot point is so far below the floor that the shift lever hits the floor, unless properly modified.
