I like my 73 W200 alot. Personally I prefer the NP205 transfer case over the later 203 that cames on the full time trucks. Putting it in 4-lo with the front unlocked is pretty convenient for moving trailers around in tight spaces.

I really haven't had many issues with mine other than the fact that its ride is, to put it nicely, horrible. I've towed with it, remodeled my entire house with it, built my shop from the ground up with it, and winched out over 8000 sq.ft. of juniper bushes from my front yard with it and its never let me down.
