Help identifying transmission and year of transfer case
Hey all,
I have a 65 that was converted to 4WD. I've read through a number of posts regarding the numbers on my Dana 24 transfer case tag (300205 3), but I didn't see if the 3 at the end signified a given year or years manufactured.
Second, I can BARELY read the tag on the transmission, but it LOOKS like the following:
FD8 V
028914
Anything? Thanks!
-Ben

I listed what I could see from the tag on the side of the tranny housing, but it was REALLY tough to make out. I feel confident about the numbers I listed above (028914),but I'm iffy on the letters/numbers combo (FD8 V).

Now that I look at the fische for the transmissions for my year/motor, PDB-A makes a lot of sense. "F" could be P, and "8" could be a B. Maybe someone stamped the "A" upside down? lol

That does look like a 3 to me, also.
I decided to take a couple of pictures of my plates so you have a couple of serial numbers to go with. Maybe others will post their numbers and (if original to the truck) it might start to show a rough idea of your year.
1966 F250 4x4 Vin #831340
Dana 24 300205-6 - serial number - 735737
1966 F250 4x4 Vin #833305
Dana 24 300205-6 - serial number - 745719
I have a hunch yours is older judging from the serial number on it and the 3 instead of a 5 or 6.
I hope that helps some.

What's amazing is this same BOM#300205-3 transfer case is seen multiple times right here on this forum, on other's ford trucks, but I can't seem to find an origin! I do appreciate your help and expertise

Can you provide a couple of links to these others that you are seeing? I'm only finding one other reference to the 300205-3 across the entire site and it's in the 1957-60 section.
Any transmission can turn a divorced transfer case.
