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
foward shift
top shift

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.

by the look of the 2 pics the forward shift can be adapted into a top shift pretty easily??

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