205 4wd Pivot bolt
Hey guys! First of all, I know its been a while since I got this bolt but I am just now getting around to installing it.....LOL.
This is also an extension of THIS discussion but I did not want to continue it in the "for-sale" section of the forum. I was doing a few odds and ends today and decided to slide under and install this bolt to get the rattle out of the 4wd shifter arm. Unfortunately it looks like I have the wrong bolt (I think). The one that came out was a 7/16" or 1/2" diameter bolt and the new one is like 11/16" or 3/4". There was a bushing and a metal sleeve on the shifter arm as mentioned in the other thread and I can remove them no problem so the new bolt will slide in. The issue is the casing is tapped for the 7/16" bolt and not the 3/4". Am I missing something or do I have the wrong bolt? Thanks for the help!

Also, it looks like the guy in THIS thread had the same issue.
He had to drill and tap the adapter ![]()

Re: 205 4wd Pivot bolt
And according to THIS thread and parts sectional blow up, it looks like what I have currently in place is correct. The washers are not specified in the sectional but what I have is a flat washer and lock washer. I have a plastic grommet on each side of the shifter and a sleeve in the center.
Maybe my shifter is just wore out. Would have liked to use the new bolt with the grease fitting though.

Re: 205 4wd Pivot bolt
I've had mine out numerous times but I couldn't tell you the thread size/pitch. The head is 7/8"
It is shouldered like the big one above but without the grease port

Re: 205 4wd Pivot bolt
Mine is 5/8" head size, just basic bolt with sleeve and bushing. I am guessing I will just try to pick up a new bushing and sleeve and see if that works. If not, I will need a new shift lever I guess.

Re: 205 4wd Pivot bolt
This one is on my 71' GMC. I will check the 72' Chevy tomorrow and see what that has. The 72' is nice and tight, no wiggle in that one at all.
