I'm restoring a 71 K1500. Truck is real close to being able to drive under it's own power. Would it harm the transfer case to drive the truck up onto a trailer with the transfer case in 4hi with only the front drive shaft in place? I'm thinking it would be OK, but kind of question if there might be a reaction to no load on the rear yoke. Any suggestions or info would be appreciated.
