Thank you,
That bit of information actually brightened my day a bunch.
The transfer case has a metal tag - Rockwell T221 N 7, Serial Number 02690216.
Transmission has "GM1" "C249" "3901131".
I've googled Rockwell T221 N 7 and found the T221 was used up to '69. No specific reference for "N 7".
The best I have come up with on the trans is possibly a Muncie SM465 which stated in light trucks in 1968 and went to 1991.

I read the forum rules about selling and understand the $25 fee - which is very reasonable.
