I see no levers on the floor for a two speed transfer case. I really don't get that PTO set up and what it could be used for, somebody might have done it and then got to the point of realization that w/o the transfer case it was useless.
I think you will find that the PTO on the side of the gearbox, works when main gearbox is in Neutral. No different to those trucks with tyre pumps and only 2 wheel drive. Going on the assumption that the Chev gearbox is nearly identical to the Bedford (both GM) and tyre pump works in Neutral.
