front and rear, a Dana 70F in the front and a Dana 70 with centered rear diff in the rear, both with 4.88 gear sets (5.XX ratio also available). The transfer case support bracket is different in the W300 from the one used in the W100/W200 because, among other things, the distance between frame rails in W300 is 34" but will be slightly greater in W200. Drive line yokes are different, too.

The wheelbase of your '69 W300 crew cab is likely 146" or maybe longer, vs. 128" for LWB '66 W200 and 114" for SWB 66 W200, so your W200 drive (propellor) shafts will be too short to swap into the '69 W300 without lengthening. Your conversion will require plently of work, so get started soon. :)
