Here's the story, so far I have all these parts...
-front d60 offset to drivers side (F350)
-np205 with drivers side drop (F350)
-GM SM465 with np205 attatched to it
-GM np203 originally attatched to a th350
I want to go from the SM465 to the ford np205. I was thinking that I could use the 203 as a doubler setup too. I figure that if I am going to spend $ to get some kind of adapter, I might as well spend a little more and get a doubler.
Also, I really want to stick with the GM trans because I have a complete TBI 350 and bellhousing.
What do you suggest?

hell, if you want to do it, you better do it now or you'll pay a lot more later...think about it..money for the doubler, new drivelines, ect.
if the ord doubler works with the ford 205 then I say go for it...

How much wheelbase do you have? If there's room, get a divorced Ford NP 205 or convert your Ford 205 to Divorced style and mount it behind the GM 205 with a short drive shaft in between. That would be a lot easier than messing with adapters.

What vehicle????
If you have enough drivetrain length, go with grandpa's setup, if not call Waggoner machine, or go to Waggonermachine.com, and check out pics of their doubler setup. If the Ford205 has tha standard 6bolt round pattern, you will be able to use it easily. Chevy NP205's produced after 1982 also have this 6bolt pattern.
Good Luck!!

Thanks for the replies, this combo is going into a short wheelbase Jeep, a YJ. I might need to stretch the wheelbase some to fit everything. Do you think it is even possible to fit all this in a YJ?

going with the doubler will be about 9" longer than just 465-np205. You still need an adapter from the 465 to the 203. You will also need an adapter from the 203-205, avail from ORD or Waggoner Machine. Call either of these places and ask. You will definitely need to move your rearend back a few inches to compensate, and i would suggest a 1350 CV for the rear from High Angle. Mine works great off the 205!!
Good luck!
