Transfer Case Question

Hello all, I have a 79' F250 SuperCab with a 351M/C6, and recently I have noticed a noise coming from the Transfer Case. Mostly it will happen at cruising speed, when there is no acceleration going on but is still kind of random. It sounds like a loose motorcycle chain or a badly grinding bearing, but goes away after a few seconds. Also when I am creeping to a stop I can hear and feel a clunking sound from the TC.

I took out the drive shaft to check the rear-end and all is well there, no play or internals that look bad, but on the TC output for the rear there is about 3/4 of an inch of "slack" in the movement. No up and down movement, just slack in the actual revolution of the shaft. I am afraid it is something nasty and I have never torn into a TC before and was hoping ya'll could offer some advice on what I can look at or for.. I'm pretty sure it's a 205, but don't really know how to tell the difference.

Any help will be most appreciated.
Have a great day....
