There are already enough issues to chase down after assembly is complete.

Looks like because of the angle I'm going to have to swap out the front yoke (or whatever it is called) on the transfer case to use the double u-joint style shaft. Wish I'd done that when I had the TC out on the floor. Project for another weekend...
Well crap, if I had noticed the single yoke in a pic you posted I may have spoke up cause the NP205 has a double Cv type joint. Now if you do that your going to have to shorten the shaft length. Trying to install the shaft with the CV joint is a bear too! Least on my truck
