The '203 came divorced?  Now that *IS* interesting.

I have a friend in Canada that made his own adapter like we're talking..
NP203-->NP205 mated.  10" longer than the '205.  He made the NP203 look
like a TH350 output shaft.. which went nicely into his NP205.  He had
some custom gears made and some sleeves n' such.  Advanced Adapters is
working on this "X2 Doubler" for around $1,000 at the moment.

Sounds like a super setup for a Scout.. any motor and trans you want
(454/NV4500 from a late model 2wd?) and a divorced 203/205 with 4:1 low
(and2:1 low).

Of course, I'd want to know how I could squeeze that to the back of a
Dana 20 as well.. <g>

personally, I'm working on a Bronco geared twin-stick'd Dana 20 for my
current rig.. but the next one I have bigger plans...

I'm going to mate a Bronco Dana 20 (left drop) to the back of my T19. 
2.46:1 low.  I'll then use an NP205 divorced (unless I manage to figure
out how to go about mating the 205, another S'20, or a Jeep 300) to get
my right drop... choice of 2:1 low, 2.46:1 low, or ~5:1 low.

OR.. I could get a low-range kit for the Bronco Dana 20 and take it down
to 3.73 or lower...
