I have A 1981 K-20 8600 GVW LT-9 5.7 350 cdi M465 4 speed manual Dana 44 front 3.73
14 bolt full floater rear 3.73 yea I know the 3.73's suck with the 35" BEG Mud TA's NP 208 TC Warn HD lock out hubs 4" Rancho LiftI have found A NP 205 TC and A TC adaptor that will bolt up to the M465 the NP208 has 200 k + with no trouble's but it's life span is ????? A buddy told me that the NP 205 TC was the work horse I do use my truck not abuse it Has anyone done this swap will the front drive shaft bolt up? will the TC adaptor bolt up to the cross member? I know that the 208 shift linkage will not fit the 205 Would this be worth the swap I know I need 4.56 gears with the 35's but one thing at A time!
Thanks for your input
