Swapping in a t19/205 for the c6/205 in my 1978 f150, and running into some problems.
I bought the trans and tcase from a junkyard about 3 hours away, got home and found that the adapter housing on the 205 will not bolt up to the t19. Wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.
I talked with the yard I got it from, and from the measurements I gave them all they could come up with is an aluminum adapter that came on the np208/bw1356 tcases. Would this work?
What parts exactly did you get?
Is the trans a 4wd trans?
Was the transfer case adapter from that trans??
Or did the transfer case adapter come from the 205?

The trans is a 4wd, as it has the trapezoid pattern and not the square. The transfer case had the adapter on it.
I had an idea that there were different adapters between the c6 and manuals, just didnt have any measurements to go off.
Alvin in AZ, I have seen the Novak website. Decided on the t19 for the syncro'd first gear, and ended up getting one with the 4:1 gear as well. Should work well on the street with 33's and 3.50 gears.
So where is the adapter that was on the T-19? Is that the aluminum adapter that they are offering you? If so it should work. A T18 adapter will probably work as well.
There was no adapter on the transmission, that's the problem I am trying to solve. The junkyard said the only adapters that match the measurements I gave them is the aluminum ones.
I just wanted to make sure it would all work before having them ship it to me to find out.

I just measured a T-18 4wd trans out of a 79 Bronco. The 205 transfer case has already been removed. The adapter is 7 1/2" long and the splined shaft sticks out about 3/4" past that. How does that compare to your measurements?
Please let us know what length adapter ends up working for you. I would guess it is a T18 adapter (Not NP435)....but I sure would like to have this confirmed.
According to Novak the Ford 2wd and 4wd t18 and t19's have the trapezoidal pattern, its the NP435's that have a square 2wd pattern or trapezoidal 4wd pattern. Also Novak uses the same transfer case adapter for t18/t19 to jeep transfer cases. Make sure your t19 has the output splines that matches the 205.
What's the difference in splines? I believe it has the 31 spline output shaft, and the 205 seemed to match up when I tried putting them together, the bolt holes just didn't line up.
Sorry if my answers are a little vague, the truck is stored about an hour from where I lived currently.
