So im keeping my eye out for a sm465 with the 32 spline output shaft. I think started in 85' and ended in 90'.
Ive scoured Craigslist and nothing has popped up. Theres a ton of 10 splines all over for cheap. I thought maybe I could get a 10 spliner and swap to 32 but it looks like its not that simple. There were some bearing changes through the years and 32 spline factory shaft is no longer manufactured. You can buy the shafts from novak or advanced adapters but there $178 and not guaranteed to be in good condition.
So ill watch Craigslist like a hawk. Its odd that there werent many manuals out here.

Any 465 with a 208 or 241 is 32 spline. I believe they started around '80

Sounds about right. Ive seen probably 20 sm465s on craigslist today but there all 2wd or 10 spline.
1981 is the first year for the 32 spline SM465.

So heres the start to the windstar fan brackets...
Im going to wait to drill the holes for the fan side since bending could be enough to screw you up. Sort of a proof of concept to make sure these work as designed. Theyll need some standoffs to take some vibration off the ears to keep them from developing cracks, which ill add after i make the bends.
Just for artsy sake...I cant wait to go wheel again. I have some loose ends to tie up but im thinking ill start my electric fan install this weekend.

Hey thanks guy!
That poor bastard is trying to get out what hes got into it. Hes at about twice what it should be priced at. That jeds adapter looks like a seagull was squeezed out on the welds lol. Im still looking around!
Welds? I thought it was liquid nails
and I saw a wanted add on the facebook "crawler swap meet" and a guy responded that he had one for $250 in Ukiah. Might be worth checking out.

Hahaha might as well have been!
Whats bookface? lol i dont have one...does he have an ad?
yeah, book of faces. You would need to sign up and send him a message. I can do that if needed, just let me know.
it's a great place to get parts as these "groups" are used as classifieds boards. Lot's of good stuff is posted with the majority in our area.

I'll send a message to him.
I wouldn't bother with a 465 for $800, that's NV4500 territory.
