try this link to learn about what was put in these 77 trucks.
 http://www.chuckschevytruckpages.com/73-87specs.html

I was told my 77 1/2 ton only came with NP205 and that is what is in it. I use 80 weight gear lube or 80 W90 gear lube in trans, tansfer case and differentials.

The 203 calls for 10w30 or 40

the 205 calls for GL5

ok another question, when i got the truck the guy said he had to replace the right front axle, the shaft coming from the hub to the diff. im a little out of touch on these old trucks but when i lie under the truck and turn the front drive shaft by hand, shouldnt both left and front axles turn? only the left one will turn when i turn the driveshaft, the right one doesnt move. i jacked the wheel up that had the axle replaced and it spins fine .  or is one not turning because its an open diff?   any help will be greatly appreciated
