I don't know what this 205 was bolted to but should I be able to use my 203 adapter and mate it to the 350 tranny?

Nope they are different. 205 to th350 adaptors are hard to find. If the 205 has 10 spline input it came off a manual tranny in the 70's and part way into the 80's.
If it came off a TH350 it will have 27 I believe. The adaptor where it bolts to the tranny will be round with a O-Ring and 4 bolt holees where it attaches.
If it has I think 32 it came off a TH400 or a late 80's 465. I think that's the correct spline counts but I might be wrong.
The 80's version have a slip yoke like a 208. You cna convert them to fixed yoke with the parts off the older style case.
The most common year trucks to find a TH350 205 is 71-72 and 80.

If you want a 205 that bad ditch the TH 350--you'll regret paying what the adapters cost and still be stuck with a TH 350.
If you want an automatic get a TH 400 and NP 205 combo. They're much more common and the TH 400 is significantly stronger.

Good feedback fellers. The thing about this predicament is that this is my daily driver and funds are very limited. The 203 I have now is questionable when in 4 wd. I'm gonna run it this weekend in Summertown and if it goes then I think I should still be able to drive home in 2 wd (part time kit). The last time I was there dude had a 205 on the floor for pretty cheap. I got the rundown on how to tell what kind it is from ORD website so I'm prepared to do business if it gets ugly.

What about the cross member for the 205. Can I mod the 203 to fit failry easily?
No mods to the crossmembers will be necessary. Just bolt them in and go. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
