2H
4H

4L

What kind of transfer case would this be?

A mid-late -70's W100/W200 Dodge has a shift knob which has the descriptions on it as it has a NP203 as well.

thanks aprice! i went to a 4wheel shop and they told me it's a np203 and that if you have locking hubs, its already been converted, which they do. He also told me that I have the wrong shift knob of the np205, and that mine is:

(front)
4L
2L
N
2H
4H
(back)

He said I should be in 2H for regular driving, but it really matters only when you lock up the hubs. Can anyone explain to me what each position is for? Sorry for the newbie questions, again, it's my first 4x4. Thanks!

btw, anyone know a place where i can get a new shift knob for the np203? <p></p><i></i>
This the shifting pattern I have after the conversion.  Its nice to have the 2l for pulling a heavy trailor or something like that where you don't need the 4 wheel drive.
