I was wondering if any of you guys know where I could get my hands on a divorced transfer case that isn't gonna burn a permanent hole in my wallet... I have a 2wd truck and plan on putting a ford front end under the beast and want to go divorced T-case with equal length shafts. Any help would be much appreciated

 

Look at 73-77 F-250s. Divorced NP203's and NP205's. 77.5-79 were married cases, as were F-150s.

 

As far as I know, thats correct. My buddy has a 77 F-250 hi-boy that has a divorced t-case

 

Awesome so the local junk yard should have a few.... Now the question I have for you guys, since I am a total T-case newb, is which one would you rather run? The 203 or the 205?

 

The 205 is a part time gear to gear case and without a doubt the strongest OEM transfer case ever offered in a light duty truck from any manufacturer. The 203 is a full time chain driven monster that has a separate range box for high and low range selection that is bolted in front of the chain case. I see no benefit in trying to run a 203....it is larger and heavier and the chain case assembly is not as strong as the 205 gear to gear case.....the 203 range box is quite strong, though and easily as strong as the 205 internals which is the reason why so many people run an adapter that allows the 203 range box to get bolted in front of a 205 for having the ability to have 2 independently selectable low ranges.

 

I definitely like the idea of a gear to gear part time case... I would rarely, if ever, use low range in the first place though so the 203 range box wouldn't be necessary. Now I just have to go scour the junk yards for one.

Thanks guys for all the help, your knowledge and quick responses are greatly appreciated.

 

I had a 73 ford 3/4 4+4 , it had the 205 , and I wish that this dodge was the same way , lot easier to work on , the only diff. was that the ford was a m.t. & the dodge is an auto .

 

My buddy has a divorce for sale, and he lives in wisconsin too. I'll find out more from him and pass it on to you.

 

so long as it stays in my budget I would be very interested..........

 

its a ford 205. He said to make an offer How far from walworth are you??

 

Oy.... quite aways looks like a lil more than 250 miles... The only other question I would have is if I could stuff a ford leaf spring front end under there without too much issue?
