What transfer case would have come behind a SM465 in a 1980 K30?

     In my manual, both the 203 and 205 are used, the difference was 203 was used mid 1975 and beyond only in the automatics.  It says the 205 was only used in the manual transmissions.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Thanks guys, I have a line on one with a newly rebuilt transmission.  Don't know what I will do with it but if I can get it cheap enough I might snatch it up to set on a shelf and look pretty...

Should be a 205 as thats all that was offered with 1 tons.
