Re: 71 K10 3 speed upgrade issues

When my only experience with 3spd 4wds was a Blazer, I thought the Dana 20 case came behind all 3spds. But, I got a '71 K/10 SWB and that had a NP205. After looking around, I think it's only K/5s that used the Dana20? Anyway, we need to know what you have, first. I am not sure, but I think I checked around and the NP205 adapters are different between the 4spd and 3spd...maybe the shaft length?

I think the easiest and cheapest solution here would be get a NP208 with adapter to use behind either your TH350 or that 700r4. You could also find a complete trans/transfer case combo for a reasonable price. To use a 700r4/NP208 combo there is no adapter required and you just mover the engine forward to the 6 cyl location to make up for the longer 700r4, no driveshaft work required
