Can you divorce a married 205 transfercase?

*2tons of fun* · 10-04-2009, 02:58 PM

sure is you custom fab a front housing and swap in a divorced input.

woodwright · 10-04-2009, 04:24 PM

probably easier to find a divorced dodge tcase.

Chevy1TonFun · 10-04-2009, 07:55 PM

i'd find a chevy or dodge divorced t-case. Let me know if you have trouble finding one. There is a yard here that I can get whatever case you want.

Alot of them in Internationals.

Do any of the divorced 205's have a drivers side drop? does the speedo read from the tranny or the t-case?

Ford 205s have driver drop

*2tons of fun* · 10-06-2009, 12:20 AM

it can reaed from either one, you will just need a really long cable to get to the divorced case.

chevy never ran the 205 divorced so you will have to get teh dodge or int/nat case.

sailed2japan · 10-06-2009, 05:18 PM

Awesome, thanks for the info!

I have one if you ever get down this far. I'm not sure what it came out of tho.

1969 GMC · 10-06-2009, 11:55 PM

There have been people who have made divorced cases married, I've seen it before, but it's not like the divorced 205 is rare or anything.

Oh, and no the divorced 205 never came in a factory Chevy. Maybe a Napco 4wd conversion, but the 80's chevy K30s had married 205s.

woodwright · 10-11-2009, 02:28 PM

How much farther back is the divorced transfer case, than the married one? How long is the little driveline in between?

*2tons of fun* · 10-11-2009, 09:07 PM

depends on how long you want it.

you can go yoke to yoke but most people will set on eup so that the front and rear drive shafts are the same length.

sailed2japan · 10-17-2009, 05:09 AM

I never really understood making the driveshafts the same length. I get the theory, but to me I would want the least possible angle on my rear driveshaft as that's the one being used most of the time, then just make sure your front isn't at too much of an angle.

*2tons of fun* · 10-18-2009, 07:30 PM

you keep them the same length for trail simplicity.

if you bust your rear on the street or whatever you can just swap your front in.

unless its a blazer or you have a stupid tall truck there is no reason that you rear angle will ever be an issue.

woodwright · 10-18-2009, 09:07 PM

Just got my divorced 205. Traded a guy some extra reloading gear I had. Just gotta clean it up and start fabbing mounts.
