Tranny and transfer case question

What 4-speed transmission and transfer case came in the 1968 4x4 1/2 ton? I am removing these to install an automatic for the wife and didn't want to scrap them if they are useful to someone.

So what are they and is there a market for them?


Thank you

I think that is the SM420 trans and Rockwell T221 transfer, but not 100% sure.

Re: Tranny and transfer case question

ya, '68 was about the last year of the sm420/221 combo, switched out for the sm465/221 (iirc), then on to the 465/205 combo. post some pics and we'll be able to help ya out. regardles, i doubt it's something you want to just toss.

welcome to the board.

See link to Novak for detailed descriptions of these tranny's. Mine is the 465, heavily ribbed as described at Novak.
