NP205 output flange
OK' checking with ya'll. I put my new to me 205 in for a test fit, my rear drive shaft will be lengthened with no further mods needed. The front drive shaft will need to be shortened, the issue with the front is with the 203 it had a 27 or 32 splined flange that the shaft bolted to where the CV joint is, My question is where can I find a 10 spline flange for the 205 so I don't have to completely modify my front shaft?

Re: NP205 output flange
Might want to confirm 203 spline count first. Might cost the same to swap in a 30 or 32 spline output into the 205. You would reuse your 203 yoke and get a strength upgrade as well.

Re: NP205 output flange
The 203 front output is a 30 spline. (10 spline 205 is a CV u-joint) You can match a 205 30 spline front output from a later year that has/had the flange. Or you can really upgrade with a ford 205 front output that has the 32 spline and go with a 208/241 flange which is also 32.

and a 208/241 flange sticks out more over the 205 unit. |

I haven't actually counted the splines yet... I will confirm. 30 spline. |
Re: NP205 output flange
just get your front driveline redone to match your 205, easier and cheaper in the long run...i have heard that the 10 spline isnt as strong as other splines, i say BS, it is just as strong .

Re: NP205 output flange
Meh, No point in using logic, engineering or whatever.
Spline count is related to shaft diameter and more splines suggests larger diameter, which equates to more strength. BS mode engaged We can also think about the torque multiplication (TM) at various spots. The clutch plate is often 10 spline and there's zero TM at the clutch. In 1st, 4x low range, TM is ~13:1 w/ a 205 and 465. Torque breaks things. That's why on tons is a common phrase on pirate. BS mode sort of off :) https://www.google.com/search?q=spli...utf-8&oe=utf-8 |
Re: NP205 output flange
I have had 205's with the ten spline outputs for years,40 years to be exact, I don't care what little differences there may be ...the ten spline will be great and last forever unless you are beating the hell out of your truck.....

Re: NP205 output flange
If my 203 output flange will work I will get a 30 splined shaft. I will be going through the 205 anyway.

Re: NP205 output flange
You do not even have to completely disassemble the 205 to replace the front output. Just have to pull the retainers front and rear and slip the shaft out the back. It is a little tricky getting it back in though, takes a little finesse. I've done them in vehicle before changing to 32 spline
