Anybody have a picture of a unicorn?

[nvrenuf]

I'm looking for a pic of an np203 WITH A REAR SLIP YOKE. I know they existed as I've worked on one, my bet is '79 and GM only. I'd like to show a non believer they existed.

Google was fruitless. Who can name this tune??

I have 4 of these, all bolt on yoke, sorry I couldn't collaborate

Are you sure your not thinking of an NP205 with slipyoke?

(Asked half in jest, half serious )

j/k Yes a 203 That's why I'm trying to find a pic, a fella doesn't believe they existed. I really think it was probably a 1 yr thing.

I just remember it weighing 8342 lbs.

So about 2 pounds more than the regular one.

I have never seen an NP203 with a slip yoke, 1979 was the last year for 203's and 1980 was the first year for the first slip yoke NP205.

Is it ok if I post up a picture of a completely different unicorn?

 

[sweetk30]

i dont even think the way a 203 rear section is built it could be offered in a slip yoke could it ?

Right, I'm aware of 79 being the end of production and the 205 being the onl;y case in 80. I always thought the rear slip yoke (for 205's) started in either 78 or 79, most likely 79.

@Capt Ron at first I thought that was a 3 spd on the column trans but the shifter is crazy and the boot looks like an A833. What is it?

Back in high school I used to work for a guy that had a neat late 70's K10 with a 350, 3 spd on the column. At the time I didn't know what I do now so I never got under it and looked it over, I wish I had now. Shoot, I wish I had the whole truck now.

 

[sweetk30]

that is a 833 used in early 80's on some light duty 4x4 gm units . even rated for 6.2 diesel use factory . was 3 speed with 4th as overdrive .

mega thread of info on it . http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=670789

oh and back to the o.p.'s orignal question thanks and have a nice day people.

Yeah @83ChevyK5Blazer is local to me and had an A833 / 208 in his old Blazer for a while. The trans didn't like wheeling so when he swapped to a Suburban he sold the A833 and went with a 700.

This one has a cast iron case and the t-case is a 208. the shifter is bent up from when they {not me} removed it.

I had a late model nv3500..... I didn't trust it for the weight of the suburban, that and it didn't appreciate being filled with water that one time.

I've seen many 203s but never with a slip yoke. Even divorced 203s lol......Local yard had the 833/208 combo, couple at one point, but not too many squares in yards anymore....
