Good deal!
I agree, other than this and a 205 I have in a 91 Dodge 1 ton all the transfer cases I've ever had were aluminum and I've broken a lot of stuff but never an aluminum case. The web wheelers have made the 205 the end all be all of the t case world.
Got the 35s and got my shock mount from diy4x......
Spent the rest of the night trying to bleed and adjust my rear drums, I cant wait to get the rear discs on this thing....

Well with the 35s on and ktmoutfront making me nervous I decided to add some wheel wells to the bed......
Got the rear discs on...
Drilled and tapped the hole for the third stud on the front passenger side spring plate....
What are you guys thoughts on studs vs bolts? My two Dodges use studs and have been fine but the also don't see anything besides highway and dirt roads. I know from the factory GM used bolts but studs seem like they would hold better?

I think you’ll be glad you did
I would swap the NP208 in. I would way rather have the slip yoke, than the poor gearing of an NP203.

208 shifts nice too.
Everything about an NP208 is better than an NP203, other than the slip yoke, which is not that big of a deal.

I am leaning heavily towards swapping the 208 in, it would allow me more flexibility with a front locker as well as the lower gearing. I should have everything I need. Ive been collecting parts, and so far have the shifter, t case, rear driveshaft. I believe the front shaft is the same and I think I can use the stock crossmember with a tall adapter? I wonder if I can get the 203 skid plate to work or does the 208 hang lower?
The front drive shaft got longer when the 208 came into service. I believe almost 3" longer.
Here's the 208 with the steel skid plate from a cucv. There was also an aluminum version. My 84 has the flat crossmember, I'm pretty sure in 85 they had the w shaped crossmember.

I clocked mine up in my '85 K20.

Well shit, thanks K10. For some reason I was thinking they were the same front, just a different rear, looks like I’ll need to pick one of those up! That skid plate doesn’t look much different than mine, I’m hoping I can make mine work.
I wondered if there was enough room to do this…just one bolt hole up?
I added a 1" body lift.

K10, what trans are you running? I wonder if all the 208 front shafts are the same or if they are shorter/longer depending on 350/400/465
Copy that, all the same. I actually stole this drive shaft out of a 89 3/4 ton Suburban with the turbo 400 and a np241. My truck has a SM465.
