Yep, that's the one.. New Process 202 transfer case, sourced from a military 6x6, the thing weighs 195 lbs, all gear drive..

My brother and I had a 65, 66, 67 IH, I think it was a tonner, it WAS 4x4 with a GEAR DRIVE transfer case.....

The sticker on the dash explained it all..

FOR NON-ROAD SURFACES ONLY..

Manual Hubs, and a Low range that was about walking speed in 1st gear..

We called her "Lucifer" because she'd been to Hell and back, and we were intent on getting her back there..

I sometimes wonder, after we sold her, what became of her.. We'd replaced the cab and bed, and driven her for some time before my brother left for the USAF in '82..

*sigh*

Wouldn't one of those be great with a 5 cylinder turbodiesel.. :)

IIRC it was a "divorced" transfer case, so it WOULDN'T be impossible.. :)
