Thanks for the great help on this forum.I am in need of decoding the VIN.I tried web sites and came up empty.I think it reads m14bf56017600.If you see my error please correct me.Thanks.Kurt.

Trying picture again.

Hi! Is there any way you can maybe post a little clearer picture? It's hard to make out some of what it says!

mxkurt

It is my only picture.I took it at the junk yard about 40 miles away.Perhaps you may help me without the vin.Will a 1975 1/2 ton 318ci/727 bolt right up to my 1977 w200 318/727 transfer case?

BookGeek

Okay what I deciphered from that picture is that the VIN is W14BF5S047600 which would make this truck a 1975 Dodge W10 Conventional Cab with Sweptline box. If you would like to know any more information about this vehicle I can help you find some.

Will this 1975 1/2 ton 318ci/727 bolt right up to my 1977 w200 318/727 transfer case?
Thank you for identifying this truck.

Iowan

Motor, yes
transmission, no

mxkurt

Thank you.I was wrong.I thought only the axles and springs were different.I'm still learning.Thanks to you fine folks.

mxkurt

Uncle.
Why won't the w100 727 bolt up to my w200 transfer case?

Iowan

The output shaft and tail housing are different between the two.

mxkurt

So Dodge used one transfer case for the w100 and a somewhat different one for the w200?

Iowan

So both trans are 4wd?

mxkurt

Yes.
I own a 1977 w200 318/727 4x4 FT
WTB a 1975 w100 318/727 4x4 FT

Iowan

Sorry I was thinking that it was a 2wd transmission you wanted to use in a 4x4. That question is asked here alot.

RacerHog

NP203 (Full Time Transfercase 1975-1979) should swap out without any issues....... Just my 2 cent.
IF your trying to use the NP205 in place of the NP203 without knowing your doing so???, then your trying to mismatch parts, That will be the issue.

mxkurt

Hi.Yes.
Just wanting to know if I can buy the 1975 W100 318/727 motor and transmission only and bolt it on to my 1977 w200 318/727 transfer case?

RacerHog

Sounds like your "good to go"...

mxkurt

Thanks a bunch for the great advice that I get here.It is really great you guys chip in here on this site.
I agree with others that say "rebuild what you have"But just checking a few things on my engine and trans has convinced myself that there is not much left to rebuild.I'm afraid from experience that I do not have rebuild-able cores.1st "non racing" 727 I've seen destroyed.
Anyway thanks.
Please have a great day.
