SM 465 dust shield - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Where can I find a dust cover for my SM 465. I have looked all over, and all I can find are flex plate covers for the TH auto. Help!!!!!!

eedgell · 07-01-2007, 09:06 PM

Is anyone running with the shield? Any ideas? Does someone know where to buy new/used?

There are two pieces to the shielding covers. Do you have the piece that fits between the starter and bell housing?

The main cover should be available used. Have you posted a WTB?

They are getting hard to find. Most junkyards just dump the tranny on the ground, crushing the cover, after they pull it. When I rebuilt my 292 and 465 a few years ago, my buddy had to braze on some washers to repair the worn out bolt holes, especially on the smaller front piece.

Yeah my DAD has a SM 465 for his Wheelies Jeep, and he has been looking for the dust cover, we tried ebay but no such luck

just make one out of sheet metal.

just make a few cardboard one till you get it right then trace and cut.

eedgell · 07-04-2007, 01:26 PM

I need both, or the whole thing. What a drag.

msgross · 07-04-2007, 01:35 PM

I didn't know that they were that hard to find... here's a pic of mine if that helps anything... These are the covers (minus bellhousing) that you are talking about right?

eedgell · 07-04-2007, 02:46 PM

Yep! That's it. Where can I find both pieces?

msgross · 07-04-2007, 07:23 PM

I'll keep and eye out for some.

eedgell · 07-04-2007, 07:34 PM

Thanks, Mike.

is that a 465 or 420 bell housing? i didnt think the 465 came with anything other than the full round aluminum bell?
