You need the metal cap that covers the drive flange? I may have one laying around. I'll check monday and get back to you.

I think your truck has a 203 tranfer case and those are drive flanges. If you put in normal hubs it won't move when unlocked.

I have a 205 transfer case that would bolt in. You'd need to modify driveshafts. I think I have a set of lockouts also. That's all it would take to convert. We could do some trading if you want.

Does it look like this? If so, yeah you can just put a cap on it, but it seems most people with a 203 prefer to swap to a 205.

Ok, cool. The 203 has a diff in the t-case and is open unless you put in it 4-lock. Also they have a chain that goes bad some times.

That cover just taps in and pry out like a trailer bearing cover. I'll check and see if I have one.

I checked and I don't have one. One from a Dodge, chevy, or Ford will work. They were most popular in the late 70's. I think I saw one at the boneyard a few weeks ago.

It will still move with lockouts on it and unlocked. It will just spin both driveshafts. I drove one all through high school like that.
