It's an NP203, full time chain driven cast iron case. GM used it from 73 - 79.

Low will drive either the front or rear wheels in low range, but most likely not both, low-loc locks up the differential in the transfercase and drive both front an rear axles, same goes for Hi and Hi-loc, Loc is also the only way to move one of these trucks with the front driveshaft removed.

I can't believe somebody asked this on the pirate board and was not flamed out of existence.

The NP203 is the most common boat anchor transfer case used by all of the big three truck makers in the seventies, only about a billion trucks had them. The Chevy forum is way more forgiving than the Jeep forum.

I think it would be cool to have a contest to see what kind of cool uses one could come up with for the NP203 transfer case, other than the doubler, which is about the only really useful thing to do with one. I've got four or five laying around, some converted, some not, most off TH350's, one off a TH400, and one divorced mount out of a Ford. Heard rumors of one behind a SM465, but I've never seen it. The only use I can think of is if a fella had a boat he wanted to keep in one place for a while.

So, anybody got any cool applications / adaptations of the iron pig NP203? I know a guy that built a downsized Peterbuilt truck and used an NP203 with the front output flipped around in the case and installed facing backward to drive the two Dana 70 rears. That's about the coolest I can think of.
