Full time 4x4

I have a question, my 76 F150 is a 360 auto with full time 4 wheel drive. Can this be converted to lock out hubs. I have heard " no way " and " no problem ". So know I'm wordering what the pro's think. Thanks

It most certainly can, you just need to install a part-time conversion kit.

to change the hubs, if youve never done it before, will take an allen wrench, a pair of pliers and about an hour and a half of your time. in other words, yes, and its easy. but you HAVE to have the part time conversion kit in your t-case before you even think about it or you wont be goin anywhere. if it was me, id just sell the NP203 thats in it and get an NP205 to replace it.

thank you

Thanks for your reply. It's something I've wondered about for a few years. Now at least I have an idea where to start. Have a great day

Before I went to that much expense and work to install a kit, I would seriously look for a NP205 and change it over. Np205s are not too hard to find right now and would be much more reliable in the long run and everything bolts up.
