Thanks David for your input.
When I get to the front, I will look at the pulleys up there.

I am a Class A Auto Mechanic as well, but what I know as a "Transfer Case"
may be called something else (eg transfer box)in other countries, and on other types of vehicles, and from different eras.
Thats why I sometimes stumble with the actual names of things.

Here in North America, its generally referred to as a Transfer Case (on a 4x4 vehicle).

Funny thing...in Canada, a prop shaft is on an aircraft.
The tube connecting a transmission to an axle/diff is a driveshaft.

but once, when I was in England, helping my Dad fix his car, we went to buy parts for his driveshaft and they tried to sell us parts for the rear axle/diff.
We did not realize that terms were displaced, and we actually needed prop shaft parts!

...
anyway...
I have been referring to photos of three or four different types of frames/chassis
to get various angles.
And I am aware that cross members and other things are in different places along the frame.
I have a plan of the 4x4 Quad frame, so I am doing my best to keep things proportioned to that.
