Slip Yoke/Driveline U-joints from a NP203 fit up to a NP208?

Slip Yoke/Driveline U-joints from a NP203 fit up to a NP208?

Okay, got the tranny and transfercase in, but I didn't get any drivelines or the slip yoke and/or associated parts with the the transfercase when I bought it.  There's a guy parting out a 1985 Blazer but it has a full-time front end, I'm guessing this means his transfercase is a NP203?

Will the slip yoke coming out of a NP203 work with my NP208?   And same question for the front driveline coming off the front output shaft?


How about the shifter and shifter linkage for the transfercase, does NP203 bolt up to NP208?


Here's an update...

First, I need a slip Yoke for the rear output shaft on the 700R4

Then I need the component that attaches to the Front Output Yoke that will then connect to the U-joints on the front driveline.

The front shaft is a doublr cardan joint that bolts dirctly to the companion flange. The slip yoke is part of the shaft.

Found a guy on CraigsList parting out a 4x4 Chevy Suburban, says it's either 1981 or 1984 as there are two dates on his assorted paperwork for the vehicle.  He says the running gear is a 700R4 mated to a NP208 transfercase and it has both drivelines still looked up as well as the complete shifter for the Transfercase.  3 Things I need.

Here's the ad,

1981 chevy 2500 4x4 parting out no motor other wise complete. good trans. with transfer case, has damage on both finders and drivers side door. email me for parts prices, saturday and sunday only. goes to scarp on monday. parts only so dont ask for the whole thing. has junk slip already.

it has 208, both drive shafts are still there . the frount should be the same.



Unless someone here doubts what the running gear may actually be, I'm going to go dismantle this thing tomorrow morning for the parts I need.

You could always do a slip-yoke eliminator kit on the NP208 and use the same driveline as before just shortened a little.
