WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
What's a nice original 4WD gas tank skid plate worth? Also a NP203 transfer case in excellent condition (looks like it may have been rebuilt). What's the high and low value for each?

There's a separate page on here for WIW posts, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/f...splay.php?f=83
But for the NP203 they're not sought after (unless it has a 10-spline input) but I've never paid more than $100 for a working one with the trans adapter included.

Re: WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
Prob'ly about a hundred each. My question would be which gallon capacity tank does the skid fit

Not 10-spline. Tank is roughly 27" x 27" x 11.5" (not accounting for rounded corners) so about 35 gallons. Does that make it a Blazer tank? It came off a '74 shortbed 4WD frame but I don't know if it was originally under a pickup or Blazer.

I can't help much on the value. The np203 is probably worth the most to someone who wants to use the front gearbox bit as a doubler in front of a np205. The skid plate is of questionable value. I personally don't want to run one. The risk of rusting the tank out from trapped mud is worse than the risk of puncturing the tank, in my opinion. Some folks still want them, though.

Re: WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
Interesting. It's a 1974 short wheelbase frame, were the Blazer and Suburban both available as shortbeds that year? Or would it just be Blazer?

Re: WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
The skid plate is from a Blazer or Suburban, there were no short bed Blazers or short Suburbans- I guess the Blazer is a short Suburban...
Like it was said already the pickups had saddle tanks and this would've been added by a previous owner or shop if they relocated a tank between the rear frame rails. Not factory for a pickup.

That’s not off a blazer I’ve seen and I’ve had many

Re: WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
'75 and newer Blazer and Suburbans got the same fuel tank skid plates-except the Suburban with the 40-gallon tank got its own part number. This is not a pickup skid plate since the tanks were on the Left and right side of the frame and not square shaped like a Blazer/Suburban tank. My old '78 Suburban had this same skid plate.
Here is one that sold on EBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/27462596297...6&toolid=10001 and a screen shot of the '73-'78 parts book

Re: WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
Thanks guys, sounds like it must be a 4WD Suburban? The frame is date stamped 1974 and measures 182" tip to tip. Here are some pics.

Re: WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
I'd say its a Blazer frame. Blazer's overall length from bumper to bumper was 184.5" and a Suburban's overall length bumper to bumper was 218.75". The dip in the middle of the frame also looks like Blazer

Re: WIW? 4WD skid plate and t-case
Thanks for all your help MJN. I found this online and confirmed it's a Blazer frame—182" tip to tip.
