67 mater you are right there is a coupler between tranny and tcase, however the splines in the coupler are gone on the tranny side. The output shafts splines on the tranny are sharp, almost nonexistent, and the couplers splines are nonexistent. However on the tcase side of the coupler they are fine. So I need the coupler and the output shaft on the tranny.

Redcap I think I may have found a SM465 bolted to a 396, but not sure what tcase it has. What year were the 465s found in? The truck I found is a late 70's early 80's. The guy said I could have the motor and tranny if I come get it. Everything is supposed to run well. so we shall see
