hi all, new to the forum but not my first 73-87 chevy. to make a story as short as possable, i had a 81 4x4 shortbox with the 4 speed and had to get rid of it, and 2 years later finally got another truck in this body. its a 73 4x4 longbox, only sad thing is that its a 3 speed columnshift. i realy do prefer sticks and i want the creeper granny gear back so i'd like to go back to the 4speed i had in my old truck. from what research i have done, i have the NP205 transfercase which seems to be the better one.
i have access to one of these transmissions with a 205 already on it, but i dont know if i'll have to change the driveshafts because of possable length differences in the transmissions or if i'll need to search out a crossmember or if my origional will work. i know this would be easy with a donor truck but havent found one local, and just want to make sure if i need any different parts, that i have them before i tear it apart. any help is much appreciated and many thanks in advance.
