So to get the blazer prepared for the reunion, I need to fix a couple of things. The two main things are the crossmember mounts and the rear drive shaft. Other things should include: notching the frame where a power steering hose hits and maybe try to figure out the weird power problem where half the vehicle loses power randomly.

So the crossmember is the biggest problem.

There are two mounts you can't see on the adapter in the picture. One of them is broken off and I don't think welding it back on is going to solve the problem for long.

My plan is to make two plates the bolt on the back side of the adapter where the blue scribble is. One on the top and one on the bottom. Then attach them ghetto like to some ghetto crossmember.

Here, sharpe has it all figured out for ya....

This guy had a problem breaking 465/205 adapters, check out his sollution.

I use to have one of those sitting around Doug. The Klune negated the need for mine. I'll see if I can find it.

Something I would recommend is a mount coming off of the end of the NP205. There are two bolt holes on one end (I think towards the bottom on a non-clocked one). Build a small plate off of it and mount it to the frame or a cross member. I made one of these after shredding my motor mounts in reverse (engine turned, shifter pinned my leg, S-curved my old crossmember, bad deal). It's been on there for a few years now and no more torn motor mounts. It would also protect that adapter and anything else from the twist.

Problem is the tcase is a 208. These adapters are notorious for breaking. I'm not sure if the 208 and 205 adapter are the same. I know they look similar.

Maybe I should make sure it still runs? I haven't started it in a year.

back in the day doug and the guy with the dodge, whose name i can't remember, hooked their diesels up gooseneck to gooseneck on the side of hwy 6 by some creek. They both proceeded to blow smoke and both sink. Cops came, etc... fun times.

Van Baker. As I remember, alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
