NP205 Trans Case Mount

I have a 68 K10 that the previous owner has installed a NP205 and SM465 into. The transfer case had no poly or rubber mounts between it and the frame when I bought it, it was just bolted to the frame. I am putting in a new transfer case mount and am wondering exactly how it should be placed. Anybody have pictures of how their's is mounted? The assembly manual is no help on this one.

The mount has 4 poly pieces (2 bigger ones and 2 smaller ones) and a metal piece which has 2 big holes in it that the poly pieces fit into. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Re: NP205 Trans Case Mount

Mike.

The side mount is what I am asking about.

My set-up does not look like what you have...Maybe I'm missing something. I do not have the top piece that you are showing. I have the bottom piece which is bolted to the transfer case. But it was directly bolted to the frame...I tried to put the flat part of the mount under the frame but it caused the transmission to be tilted in a bad angle.

Re: NP205 Trans Case Mount

Yes, you are missing the piece that bolts between the verticle side of the chassis and the top of the bracket on the transfer case.

Did they mount right to the frame?

Re: NP205 Trans Case Mount

My 73 K20 has the side mount for the 205 case. It was a 465 trans now its a th350. But my 78 with the 465/205 did not have one and it never gave me a problem.

Re: NP205 Trans Case Mount

Chevy stopped using that mount as it was cracking the transmission bell housing on the automatics.

They came up with a rod that bolted into the holes on the side of the 205 and the other end bolted to the back of the block where the bell housing bolts too, to create a triangle to keep the 205 square to the back of the engine when under heavy load.

You need to hold the engine in two locations and the transmission and transfer case in a third position. A 3 legged chair always sits flat having the same pressure on each leg. Adding a mount to the side creates stresses that breaks stuff.

Re: NP205 Trans Case Mount

Good information for people to have. But, do you know that the last post to this thread was over 10 years ago?

Re: NP205 Trans Case Mount

goes in a bellhousing bolt hole . there is a bolt / stud in that place and the bar goes on the stud part and a flange nut secures the bar to the bolt/stud unit .
