transfer case question

well I am starting another thread about my search for a 4x4.I think I have found my truck.its a 1978 F250.351m 4 speed.nice solid truck,good frame,southern box,nice cab and all.the thing is when I looked at this truck I never noticed what was in it for a transfercase.I was on the phone with the owner an hour or so ago and he said it only has 2wd and 4wd no low range.just the two possitions.and the case is mounted directly to the trans.what would that be.I know what a 203,205,208 and 231 are but I haven't heard of one of these,and I am sure someone on here has.

Sounds like a NP 203, usually they were only 2WD and 4WD, or the full time 4X4.

The owner is lost. All of the 79-earlier trucks had Lo range.

thanks ranger for confirming my thery,nice guy this fella is but how bright is still an unsolved question.as far as I knew they only ever came with a 203 or 205.and with the manual hubs it would have to be the 205 unless the 203 has had that kit installed.thanks again ranger.
