Preparing for manual trans swap.

To use this adapter you need the short input and you need to work the adapter to clear shift linkage.
And this adapter doesn't have the bung for the shifter.
If you are putting the stock long input in the 205, $200 + shipping gets you trans, adapter and shifter

What shifter are you referring to? The 465 is a top loader, the 208s linkage is mounted on itself.

Round 6 bolt for 32 spline long shaft. Like this one. Using my 208 tc.

Now you are cheating, you just added the 208 tc.
So in that case, I have sm564 you need for 150 plus shipping.
I do have the adapter you show if you need that too, $100
 
Be sure to check your crossmember, the 80s trucks have three different styles using two different heights of adapter. You can use a spacer, but it's always nice when it just works.
 
I have the "w" crossmember. I got the short tc adapter for it.

if you have a 80's firewall clean the inside of dust the 3 dimples should be there . center is the big hole and 2 at 45* / are for the brace rods . undercoat on engine bay side makes it real hard to see them and there dimpled for the drill bit from the cabin side anyways .

For what it's worth, neither my '84 Burb nor my '86 M1009 had these dimples (on either side of the metal). I had to copy the pattern from my master cylinder. The Burb had the center hole drilled (too small, IIRC) and it was used by the speedometer cable (which I relocated).

It's pretty straightforward, even without the dimples.
 
Located the mc dimples, and what I believe are the support rod dimples.
 
O.k., been shopping for the clutch cylinders and hose assembly. All I can find are individual parts. Any suggestions?
 
3 dimples total on fire wall . in a 45* line like this / ...... center is big hole top/bottom are support rod holes .

buy the parts as you can find them . i have never seen a all in one kit for our trucks like late model stuff does .

I just bought a new M/C, S/C, and hydraulic hose from rockauto. 3 brand new parts, and they installed just like the factory intended. Even on the NV3500 swap, with a different S/C, the top 2/3rds is stock squarebody stuff.
 
i did a nv4500 ext slave swap in place of a 465 ext slave setup . used a metric bubble flare union and shortened the hard line from the slave to match up with the stock square body hydro hose and then flared on a extra metric bubble nut and bleed the system and she has been great .

this info is for those searching later that happen to find this .

In that same vein, I simply attached a stock hydraulic clutch SM465 bell housing to the front of my 92-94 GM NV4500. Clutch setup is 100% stock square body, with the external slave on the driver's side (so it doesn't crowd the front driveshaft or my oversized diesel starter motor).

When I swapped in the '99 NV3500, I mated the stock squarebody hose (12MM bubble fitting) through a 10MM adapter to a slave cylinder produced for the '04-'05 GTO. A weird 3-way parts swap, but it worked out very nicely in the end.

There are a lot of ways to skin this cat...
 
Keep em coming! Save this for future generations...lol
 
When I did the swap I bought clutch, MC, SC, hose, fork, throwout brg, pivot ball all new on rockauto. I think it was all LUK except for the pivot ball. My reasoning was if it was all one manufacturer I would have the best chance of everything lining up properly. It did.
