Do divorced NP203s exist?
I thought I had seen a picture or two with a divorced NP203 in the background, but did Ford ever put one in a truck? - maybe a '73 F-250?
IF they do exist how common are they today?

I'm pretty sure they did on the 73-77.5's (highboys) but can't say with 100% certainty, i don't believe they're that common though and they seemed to always be paired with an automatic transmission and they'll have a T-case strut attached to them.

Ya I've got one in my 76 highboy. Been converted to part time though. I re-built it last winter with a new chain and it works good. Matches everything montana highboy said. Oh yeah, thats a heavy ba$tard too.

My 76 chassis has an original np203. No mods to this day, it came with a C6 auto behind a 360.
I do believe they came as standard equipment on all f250 4WDs, auto or manual trans.
They are HUGE and HEAVY TC's. And while very strong, there are stronger, lighter tc's out there. The np 205 is better if you are making a list.

They always were! Ford never offered a manual with the NP203. No ifs/buts.

I've never seen one with a manual transmission, Jermafenser's statement backs that up.
