I'd like to get some pictures of your transfer cases and mounts if I could.

I'd like to mount a NP205 transfer case in my '59 Chev 3800 and would like some ideas.

It will be a remote (or divorce-mounted) transfer case located a little ways behind the transmission with a short driveshaft between them.

Any pictures would really help me out.

Thanks,

Lane

GM never used the 205 as a divorced style case. Here's a site with a pic from under the truck, shoing the T-case in it's mounted position.

I have a napco spicer model 23 transfer case available. PM me.

I have a Dana 60 front axle out of a '87 Chev K-3500 4x4 Dually and a Dana 70 out of a '90 P-3500 cube van (also a dually). The Dana 60 is RH (passenger side) drive.

I realize that the NP205 was never used by GM as a divorced style case, but would like to make my installation look like a standard NAPCO installation.

I like the 205 as it's gear drive (not chain) and is known to be bulletproof. I'd like to use a diesel in front of it, but am not entirely sire which one yet (Duramax?????). I also like the idea of a divorced mount for driveshaft angles and for flexibility in transmissions.

bigswingdaddy, is your spicer 23 RH drive? I should be able to bring it up from down there without too much trouble.

Thanks,

Another option you might consider, Boyce Equipment, a surplus military company, has NP203 T-cases from military Dodges. Those are also divorced style.
