rockwells are not strait cut on the high side and not necessary noisy, but a pto on the transfer case is cheaper and does give you more options for speeds of the winch.
If I were going to the expense of changing to a married trans and NP205 I would go with an Nv4500 & 205. You could use a Dodge gas input 1 1/8 input and an adapter about 3/4" thick to bolt to your existing bellhousing and clutch and use your existing hydraulics and make a new rear drive shaft and shorten the front. But you will also have to move the hole for the trans shifter back and move the transftercase shifter to the other side as well as find another gear or PTO for the trans.
Or considering the expense of the conversion and use of the truck I would look closely at just getting a divorced NP205 and leaving the existing trans and transfercase shifter with a bellcrank to give some what similar shifting as the rockwell.
The cheapest option would be to find another rockwell to rebuild.
