Spotted another 78 fulltime 4WD today in town. Thats two I have seen around here. Is the conversion difficult to do? I know where there is a rusted out part time 4WD 79 F150 with a good drivetrain. If I decided to swap down the road would a tranfer case swap be the easy way to go?

I have a 78 supercab that im putting together. When I looked in my 78 glove box manual, the diagram of the dash layout shows a 4wd light on the dash.
My question is how do you know (other than driving the truck) that you have a full time 4wd.
Thanks for your time

Big metal cap on the front hub (if not converted); "lock" light under dash below the cigarette lighter; shift pattern F-R: L Loc/L/N/H/H Loc.
Oh and a big honking NP203 behind the C-6 (FT 4WD only came with the Cruise-o-matic).

WOW, out here I have NEVER seen a full time 4by ford of this vintage.. Thought they only came in cruddy Dodges.... Now is this only for half tons?? I dont see a 203 holding up to much more than that. ( Obviously proud owner of the gear driven 205..)
