Mounting NP205 on frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1969k10stepside · 12-20-2006, 06:30 PM

I was looking at the frame on my 1971 SWB K10 and it had a bracket on the passenger side frame that looked like the transfer case bolted too.It looks like the one on my 69 K10 that the Rockwell T 221 mounts to.Does the np205 mount there too?If anyone had any pics of a np205 bolted to the frame with pics of where all it bolts to I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dustin

Here is my 205 "Torque Bracket"

You can see it inbetween the two x-member brackets.
That was the best photo I could find....

It is my understanding that they are the same bracket and mounting location.

Thanks for the replies and pics so far.I just went out and inspected the frame and it looks like there should be a bracket on the drivers side frame to mount the transfer case to the frame also.Anyone confirm this?If it does mount there too I guess I will be looking for the bracket for that side because it isnt there.Words of advice...Dont buy a truck without the motor,transmission,or transfer case because finding replacements is a P.I.T.A.

No, it was put on a rotisserie, blasted and "Chassis Saver" sprayed on by someone with far more talent with a gun than I have.....

yessir, i have the original off of my truck with the 465/221 and another from a 70's parts truck with 465/205, the brackets are identical.

brackets from a 87 suburban 465/205 and 67 465/rockwell look the same but bolt spacing and alignment are different.

Looks like I will have to go take a look at the parts pile so I stop spreading misinformation!

thanks for catching that!

The bolts are 5/8'' coarse thread, about 1 1/4'' long
