83 model case would be a top shifting case where as a 90 model is foward shift case to i'd say the shifter won't line up, there the same case just different shifter set up

actually im pretty sure the case i have at home is a forward shift case.

maybe its not an 83 model i have at home?

i'll have to have a check of the serial number on it.

thanks again.

The shifting linkages are different. Some later models had chain driven transfers as well.
83' was a change over year for top shifters.
