OK WTB: 1969 NP205 Shifter

[Crash_OK]

Looking for a NP205 shifter for my 1969 K10.


Thanks.

[Livrat]

Here is one that I have had for many years and was saving for "just in case".
The chrome is decent, it does have a couple of "rub" marks where the rubber boot rides. comes with knob and mounting bolt.
$125.00 shipped

Thanks Livrat, I had not thought about a chromed one (more expensive than what I was thinking), but it would look nice in my truck. I currently have a very short shift lever, I assume it is a 73 and up. Is this lever for a 69?
Thanks..

If you don't mind a newer styled stick I have one for the np205 from a
'79 transfer case. Chrome stick only, no knob. Not show, but nice for a daily driver. Pic shows the stick and shift boot but I'm not sure the boot would fit the hole in the transfer hump. $35 shipped for the stick and the boot.

Thanks, but I have one like that now.. I was looking for something specific to the 67-72 trucks. 69 in particular.

Is this for an auto or manual trans? I assume its a manual since you say you want to stay 69 specific. All the ones shown are for automatics, I think I have one for a 4 speed out in the shop and can look tomorrow.

Auto.. So the auto's were the same for all years?

Thanks..

Actually this lever is specific to a 1970 only with an AT and difficult to find. the 70 version comes out in the center/rear of the trans hump whereas the 71/72 version come out towards the passenger side.

Since someone has swapped in an automatic into your truck either of those 2 shifters shown should work, the one Livrat has looks to be a 71-72 version.

Blazerman is correct on the 69's only having manual transmissions and the xfer case used was a Rockwell T221. in 1970 they came out with the first AT 4X4 (NP205), they did use two different levers. the one I have shown and one for a manual trans, as Blazerman said it curves off to the left.

Here are couple of pictures comparing the 70 only one and a re-chromed 71/72 AT version. and a pic of the 70 knob as requested.
I do have a painted 71/72 version if that would interest you. $60.00 shipped

Thanks this has really helped (always learning something here).. My trans cover has the hole towards the passenger side. So I would guess that I need a 71/72 version... correct.

Does the 71/72 come with a knob and bolt?

[PICKMUP]

I am not going to compete with those good offers...but, I have a little different one to offer: 70 painted, if that is the one you might need.

[too much stuff]

Didn't the 69 blazer have an optional 205 with auto? I thought that was a one year deal. (or 69-70) That had the small thread knob with no pattern on the knob?

Yes the painted 71/72 one I have comes with the bolt and a so-so knob

Eric,
I do not believe so. (but I have been wrong before) I have only seen 69's with either a Rockwell 221 or a Dana 20.
The shifter I have came out of a 70 with an AT, it does have the small thread an no shift pattern on the knob, If I remember correctly the pattern was on the glove box

[Livrat]

no worries, It's good to find out more of what was or wasn't.
Is your 69 a Blazer? There has been some debate that an AT was available in 69 only in Blazers and not a 4X4 pickup.
Is your Transfer case a NP205?

[briank]

Yep, its a K5 , not sure if its an np205 though.
