NAPCO is cast in the driver side of front axle and transfer case is mounted on a third crossmember. There is, what is left of, a band brake on the 4 speed transmission AND the transfer case. Parts missing on both band brakes. Front drive shaft was is missing so, althought he said it worked, I cannot be sure since I did not witness it. The transfer case shifter is s jumbled up welded mess and multiple nonfactory holes were cut into the transmission hump. I agree, somebody out there needs at least part of it. I tossed an ad on a NAPCO site but have not heard from anyone.
