The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop SM 420 and NP 205 transfer case

Does any one know if you can bolt the NP 205 transfer case to SM 420 tansmission.

no there was never a factory setup like that
but a divorcid setup would be posible
Advanced Adapters might have an adpter to do a married unit

Thanks i will check it out

ALSO CHECK OUT WWW.NOVAK-ADAPT.COM THE ADAPTER WILL PROBABLY BE FOR A JEEP TRANSFER CASE WHICH ARE STRONG ENOUGH FOR MOST APPLICATIONS. THEY ALSO HAVE A LOT OF GOOD TECH INFO ON THEIR SITE.

I was looking for a place to post this and this seems to be the best place. oldchevy46, I get the feeling you might be able to answer these. I'm new to the truck world and I'm looking at buying a 1970 4x4. I'm trying to find out what transfer case(s) were avalible in the 1970 4x4's. Is the NP205 the only one? The vehicle I'm looking at is a 3/4 ton with a 292 and a 4 speed. It looks like a NP205; however, as I said I'm new at this.

Next question, the truck appears to be geared extremely low. If I were to buy it I'd be looking to improve this for every day use inlcuding highway use. Is the low gearing a traight of these trucks or can I assume this particular truck may just have extremely low gears. I have not found another 1970 to drive and compare it to.

Thank you for your time

i dont think the 205 series transfer case came out till later around 77or78 but dont take my word on that.
