SM465 and NP205??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

manimal · 01-05-2013, 11:14 AM

Ijust bought an SM465 and NP205. I am waiting on it to be delivered from up in N.Kalifornia. The guy sent me some pics and I can not tell if it has the round or racetrack style adapter. It has a slip yoke rear output(which will get changed). If anyone can identify it from the pics I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

This is what it's going into!

I'm pretty sure it is the race track. I've never seen a round pattern sm465/205 adapters.

id say racetrack too
why you want to change rear output whats pros an cons
did they put that style of front output on a 205 looks like one off a 208

Usually the slip yoke 205 came in late 80's single cab trucks and the np208, 205, 203 with cv front shafts had drive flanges like that.

I think that the output flange and the slip yoke are correct for a 1980 model

(80 turbo 350/205)

That is definitely a figure 8 – or race track flange type in Manimal’s picture. Odd they have the shift lever in backasswards. Sweet J10 though!

SAE round tcase flange. 1989 SM465 on left/NV4500 on right

Figure 8 – Race track type flange. 1978 SM465 left / NV4500 on right

Another 1978 SM465/NP205 with the figure 8 – race track type flange with a 10 spline input

Thanks for all the info and compliments everyone! I got better pics this morning and yes it is the racetrack style....

cdm10700 · 01-05-2013, 08:26 PM

ok i see mine must be pre 80
is the nv4500 the same as sm465 other than the extra gear an ratios i mean durability

I have that case with the sensor on the top. Is that for the 4wd? Can I just pull the switch and put it in my 72 case? Or do I need the shaft too? Sorry to jack the thread...I would love to have a light that goes on when in 4wd!!!

russgt · 01-06-2013, 10:57 AM

Yeah its for the 4x4 light, I've seen somewhere a thread here where someone did the conversion that your looking to do.
