I'd focus on finding a full setup out of a donor truck, to include the crossmember. You'll want a newer Transfer case as stated anyways. Worse case scenario is that you have to have a driveshaft cut or made but you'll be happier in the end with the right tranny. Right now it looks like you have the original Rockwell T221 transfer case and SM465 transmission, I assume with a Lo 1st gear (granny gear).

If you weren't worried about overdrive you could go with anything from the 70's.
