Transfer case help
Here's one. What type of transfer case came in a 1983 K30? I'm looking at buying a retired CDF truck with a 350,turbo 400, 14 bolt rear and a stout looking Dana 60 up front. Thanks in advance.

Re: Transfer case help
Should be a 205, but could be a 208. Is the case cast iron? In between the front output rear bearing support and the rear output, is there a little 3-bolt cover? If yes to these two questions, it is a 205.
Best bet is to take pictures of the T-case and post them. |

Re: Transfer case help
Pictures would be helpful. It would be a NP205 or NP203.

Re: Transfer case help
Shouldn't be a 203 in an 80's truck. Most likely an NP205 in a 1 ton, but could be an NP208. I'm 95% sure it should be a 205.

Re: Transfer case help
I bet its a 205 since its behind a Th400. The easiest way for me to tell the 205s apart are that they have a fill plug and drain plug and the 203s only have a fill plug.

Re: Transfer case help
or you could just look at the shifter if you are debating a cast iron or aluminum transfer case.
