i was just wondering how to tell which t-case i have or how to tell the differance between a 203 and a 205. i have a 74 k5 with a 350/350t, it has hub locks but i don't know those were added later or not, their ruff country hub locks so i don't think their factory. and my other question, which i know you've covered a hundred times is how do you do a rear shackle flip and if someone could attach a picture of a completed one it would be really helpful. thanks guys. i love this place!

The easy way is to look at your shift pattern. If you have 4lock, 4high, N, 4low, 4lock; then NP203. If 4high, 2high, N 4low, then NP205. Haven't done the flip thing, so can't help there.

Mr. Goose, ol buddy, the pattern is: LO-LOC, LO, N, HI, HI-LOC.
I'd LOVE a 205, but this is what I have in mine...

From the factory a '74 with a TH350 woulda had the NP203. Unless somebody swapped in the 205 -- not likely, they woulda told you that when they sold it to ya -- it's an NP203.

Dang!! That's the second time I got the shift pattern wrong on the 203. Maybe next time I will actualy look it up. Can you tell I have the 205? Thanks for the clarification.

Without knowing the shift pattern you can also tell from the outside.
The 203 is a lot longer than the 205. On the back of the 205(facing the gastank) there is a small circle cover with (3) bolts in it. The 203 does not have this! And the 203 is actually two boxes connected.
Hope this helps.
