Hey can I bolt in a 205 in place of my 208? 1982 or 1983 W150 4x4 360/727/208. Or do I have to go divorced tc

 

yes you can as long as you have the tailshaft section for the tranny, those transfer cases acually came in dodges from ealy 70's up till mid 80's, look in a junk yard for all the parts you need, when my np 203 goes out im gonna get a 205 since they are stronger and about 60lbs lighter

 

tailshaft section for my transmission, well its a TF-A727, what do you mean? Do I need to do anything to the 205, or is it just a different tailshaft in my TF-A727? sorry about the newbie questions.

What parts do I need?

What is a doubler? I dont know if I need one, does it just give you better gearing, or is more control over front diff and rear diff. Having 4lo in front and N in rear, for some maneuvering action. I just did a quick google search, but it mostly comes up with ram memory for computers.

 

going with 2 transfer cases gives you a double low crawl gear - usually used for rock crawling. If you're a mudder you want tire speed so the crawl ratio isn't a big deal.

 

OK thanks. I will probably just first buy a 205, rebuild it, then bolt it in. Later I will throw on the 203 section to make it a doubler. I read up on it, 1.96:1 is the 203, which coins the term "doubler" rounded up to 2:1. I wont do much rock crawling, just mud bogging, but I do like trail riding. I will twin stick my 205 for sure, then when I do the 203/205 doubler action, do the 3 stick.

Do you think I will need new drive shafts if I throw in a 205? or is the 208 and 205 the same size.
