1980 J20 with Modified 360-60over, comp cam, roller rockers, roller chain, HEI distributor-T18, 4inch lift 37” copper stt pro’s on 20” ballistic wheels
1980 and newer J20 uses the T18a with a driver drop NP208. It's a J20 only combination. The J10, wagoneer, and Cherokee used a T177 4 speed manual with the NP208.
79 and older used several different manual transmissions over the years with the passenger drop Dana 20. There wasn't much exclusive to the older J20s.
!979 Cherokee Chief with Quadratrac transfer case has the Low Range Lever on the DRIVERS side floor. !980 no longer used the Quadratrac transfer case.
1979 Cherokee Chief S, V8, MSD Pro Billet Distributor with New Factory Ignition Box (are these 2 even supposed to work together?), HEI Wires, Edelbrock 1406, Edelbrock Performer manifold, 3.54 gears, Tru-Trac Locker in the rear, Turbo 400, New Quadratrac, Dual gas tanks, new 32 x 11.50's, Big 9000 winch, Homemade 2.5" full length exhaust, Custom Headlight Harness, Custom front bumper working, Custom Rear Swing-out Bumper, Class V receiver hitch ... and a lot of work to do yet.

Yes, QuadraTrac BW1339 had the low range shifter under the driver seat. As did later QuadraTrac NP219 and NP229 transfer cases.
But he was referencing the floor mounted shifter that is used with a manual transmission, in this case a NP208 transfercases that is up on the transmission tunnel to the left of the transmission shifter.
