Here's the correct knob for a 205 t-case:

Not sure about your last question.... a 205 turns the front drive shaft only when in 4WD mode.

i did get a shift knob off one of the guys and i thought it to be right for a 205 and had the samr markings as you show but i question the knob when i went to install on the stick and the stick has a smaller thread than the knob so here i am questioning the transfercase . and the truck seems to always be turning the trans shaft to diff so i have not got in the right spot if its a 205 - i will be checking thanks

With the truck in park, jerk the transfer shifter all the way back & forth several times

Sometimes the shift rods get crossed up & this will help....I know it sounds crazy but just bought an '81 1ton with 205 the other day & neutral was not where it was supposed to be , after several jerks it was correct with the pattern again

That happens to be a Ford 205. However, the Chevy one looks nearly identical, just with the front output drop on the other side.

the 203 transfer turns the front drive shaft all the time. The 203 transfer will not have the small round plate with the 3 bolts in it.

thanks for all the info - i have found 2wheel drive and the transfer case does have the small 3 bolt cover and the drive shaft for the front diff now is rotating by hand - 2 wheel drive . so i do have a 205 but the shifter ball that was onn it is marked marked and when i purchased a ball - marked as shown it is a larger thread diameter - so i have the same shift pattern but wrong shifter or this ball is wrong .
