With a very long list of things to do on my project this is something I have not got around to dealing with yet but I have some questions. First my set up: 1973 FJ with a 350 Chevy with a SM420 truck transmission, first gear being compound low. The transfer case is two speed, 2H and 4H, there is no 4L. I thought that year came with a three speed transfer case? Obviously changes were made to the drive train and it makes me wonder if a PO chose that case because of the compound low first gear or that was the only T case he had at the time. I do have another T case that came with my cruiser so I need to take a close look at both to see what I have. Maybe the 2 speed is a three that is not shifting properly? How do I identify each to tell what it is? Does anyone here run a SM420 with a T case that has 4 low? That seems like it would make it the ultimate crawler but I might not be seeing disadvantages to that configuration. So if someone can help me ID the cases I have and give any other advice on the subject it would be much appreciated.
Edit: I am also including a recent picture that shows the funky homemade shift lever for the the T case, something that I will be changing but it might also be a clue as to what I have.
