Strange driveshaft ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I messed up a couple parts that bolt the driveshaft to the transfer yoke.It's a 203 transfer.The driveshaft has normal u-joints on both ends.It uses thick cast caps with threaded bolt holes.The bolts goes through the transfer yoke and threads into the caps.Kinda like a rearend yoke except backwards.What year and model used this set up?
Every 203 I've had or seen used the flat plate mount.

My 76 K-20 had the same set up it had the Dana 44 front with NP-203. I think that drive shaft is still laying around.

I believe its allways been saginaw vs. spicer....the later using half straps or ubolts...the saginaw used the plate.

Thanks.I was getting worried when all I was finding was the flat plate style.I'll start looking at the older trucks.
