NP205 Adapter What do I need

[1HighK5]

OK so I now know what NP205 I need to find to be able to make it work on my SM465. But this now brings up another question what adapter do I need? What will work? None of the parts yards have the SM465 adapter with the round NP205 bolt pattern that I need. Is there any other adapter that will work. thanks John

there is no 465 to 205 adapter with the round pattern. the only 465/205 pattern is the figure 8 pattern.

i just happen to have one of these if you want it? not the adapter but the 205 case

The SM465 to round pattern NP205 was found in 1985 and newer 1 ton trucks with the SM465 - they're rare and unfortunatly we do not have any used on the shelf.

Well so far I know I need an NP205 case with the Long 32 spline input shaft and the round bolt pattern from an 85-91 one ton truck to make it fit on the 85 SM465 I have in my Blazer.But what else will I need Adapter wise

Thank you for looking and the info I guess I'm just gunna have to swap the tranny and transfer case I have a nice SM465/NP205 combo from a 70 one ton rig so I guess it will just be a little more wrenching.

I have the adapter you seek, $100.00 plus the ride. You might want to consider checking with an ebay seller named "rgfparts"; he's up in Maine I believe, and has a good selection of NP205 parts from time to time. Plus, freight won't kill you. I don't have an extra shifter, but they appear on ebay regularly. Hope this helps.

I just saw a whole 465/205 already bolted together for $100 bucks. Sure would be a heck of a lot easier than how you're going about it.

Thank for the info on the ebay guy and I will let you know about that adapter I have to first find the right round pattern long 32 spline NP205 then I will get to the adapter. It has to stop raining first up here.

also just wondering is that adapter cast iron or aluminum incase I see it?

The adapter will be cast iron.
