About This Unit The NP208C, also written NP208-C, was introduced as the OEM transfer case for 1981–1988 Chevy, GMC, and GM K-Series trucks, Blazers, Suburbans, and Jimmys equipped with four-wheel drive. The “C” designation identifies the GM-specific variant of the broader NP208 transfer case family, which also included the NP208D for Dodge and the NP208F for Ford applications. Built as a lighter, more efficient successor to the cast-iron NP203 and NP205, the 208C features an aluminum case housing, a chain-driven design, a 2.61:1 planetary low-range gear ratio, and a passenger-side front output drop. This unit was originally manufactured by New Process Gear in East Syracuse, New York, prior to their transition to New Venture Gear. Though the NP and NV prefixes are used interchangeably, they refer to the same core transfer case design. The NP208C was offered in multiple variations depending on input spline count and transmission application. It was most commonly paired with the TH350, TH400, SM465, and NP435 transmissions behind GM’s small-block, big-block, and 6.2L diesel engines. For owners of 1981–1988 GM 4WD trucks, whether you’re keeping a classic on the road or building a custom 4×4 from the ground up, the NP208C remains the correct factory-spec replacement and a proven workhorse. This transfer case is currently on sale, making now the perfect time to replace your worn OEM unit with a fully remanufactured model built to exceed factory standards. *Note* Please provide us with the Model & Assembly Number when ordering.
