WTB Transfer case support rod - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for a transfer case support rod that goes from a Turbo 350 trans to an NP 205 (part time) transfer case. I have one from what I think is a 208 TC and it seems to be a little longer. I can cut it down but if someone has the correct one I would rather go with that so I don't have to worry about screwing up the correct alignment of the bolt holes.

They were still available new at the GM store as of last year. I bought one for my '79 K10 and it wasn't that expensive (maybe $20.00?).

Was that for a 350 trans to a 205 TC or to a 208 TC? I think there is about an inch difference. But thanks for the info. I will check it out.

Yes it was for a TH350/NP205 combo.

Swapped the 203 out of my 79K5 years back. When installing the 205 we had to cut the rod to length and weld it up. 1980 was the only years a 205 was the standard option behind a th350 so if it ever was made by gm i'd have the local gm dealer look up an 80 K5 and see if they did make it and if its ava.
The last swap i did was my 76 K5 Chalet and i bought a new shifter from gm and to my surprise they had redisgned the pivot point and added a sleeved bushing to stop the rattle complaint and they have a new pivot bolt for the shifter that excepts a grease zerk.

for future reference, the TH350/NP205 combo was also available from either 69 or 70 up to and including 72 for all 4x4 models.

The one you need is on ebay right now for $10.00 with 3 days left.

Item #8016641668 or do a search for NP 205 strut rod.

I am parting a '79 Sub with 350/350 but am not sure of the transfer case. It is a case iron case though?
If this sounds like a 205 let me know and if its still there, its yours.
If you give me the measurement I'll take a look at it this in the next few days.

If the T/C you have is original it is probably a full time np203, not the part time 205. I don't know what the correct measurement should be.
If there is a cover in the center back side between the two large outer covers about the sixze of a silver dollar, then it is a 205. that is about the best way I can describe it.
If you think thats what it may be, PM me

I thought "part time" meant you had 2hi/2lo/4hi/4lo or some thing similar?
Either way, I looked at the Sub the other day and there is no rod. Sorry.
