I was waiting for that comment...... yet I have no idea what you're talking about. It's got a front axle just like @GWeakland620's truck does
Yeah, go away troll. Haha
FIFY.
How this evening started. Got home from work and got the 205 yanked back out and swappped the long 32spline back into it.
And installed. Crappy pictures but kinda hard to get good ones when it's a stock height(ish) truck and not on jack stabds.
The AA spacer was the perfect length to allow both of my driveshafts to fit. Right now the 205 shifter is a pry bar tucked under the seat until I can get a new one built. Start to finish for removing the 205, swapping inputs, then reinstalling with the spacer and a test drive was just under 2.5 hours.

For future reference...how much less cutting and grinding could have been done to the tailhousing now that you have the extra clearance? Any way to get a picture of that area?
Nice work!
In this picture you can see that you still have to clearance the tailhousing area for the shift rail.
The only thing i did that's now useless is the clearancing of the inptnshaft seal retainer seen below
Thanks.
You're welcome, basically the only real waste of the whole spacer/no spacer foul up was the now useless and brand new 32 spline short input I have

That's a desirable commodity though
That's a good point. I plan on sticking it on the classifieds here before long to help generate funds for other parts. I sure don't need it.
I knew my time was coming, they got me finally 
Jerks
pisses me off
I'm just glad I'm not near as deep into a build as either of you two. I'll go through and fix mine when i get time and it shouldn't take me too long. Shouldn't have too but what choice do I have
I've never used pb, and for this reason. I don't like using another company to host my photos.
