Im getting an SM465/NP205 combo out of a '80 K/20, and I was just curious as to what year the slip yoke started.

thanks

I believe '80 was the first year they started to try it on the 205's..

I could be wrong..

thanks guys, it looks like I will just park the slip yoke NP205 in the garage and use the fixed yoke one for my truck.
