I would also like to change the axles to 3/4 ton since my GMC is only a 1/2 ton.

My thinking is to find a 3/4 ton Chevy truck with 4X4 manual and take all the components to upgrade my '70 GMC. I m just looking for the correct year that would give me the best combo. Of course I would also like to lift it during the process of changing the axles.

What should my transfer case be stock i cant remember if its NP203 or NP205. I know that is still OG.

Thank you...for your response
you have got the right idea...get any '72 or newer chevy/gmc K20/2500 with the 4 speed and swap it all out.

and yes, your current t-case is the NP205.
