I froze a SM465 once ....had to use a propane stove under the skid plate to thaw it enuf to shift and get it off the trailer...plus a propane torch on the tower itself....interesting weekend.

Came home from Attica in Dec one time, last run of the day was thru the creek....got home well after dark, front steering and axle was froze solid. Noon the next day, fired up the truck, drove straight off the trailer, tried to turn, and exploded the return line/filter for the power steering...waited 3 more hours for it to thaw and it worked fine.

considering wisconsin is only above 32*F for a few weeks a year, I just pull the pinion and put it in the freezer....and skip wheelin for that time

:flipoff2:

(hmmm..this may turn into chitchat pretty quick....)

treeroot's article is excellent, and covers one of many options for dropping the 465 into your rig.

Sorry Woody. I didn't know you where the Top dog :eek: Plate looks good. The 465 i have is out of a 2 wheel drive.Do i have to change the front shaft also? Thanks for the info :cool:
 
for the plate to work you'd have to swap the mainshaft....believe there are a couple vendors out there who sell just that shaft, and likely have it already drilled/tapped for the retaining bolt too.

only other option with the 2wd version is the longer AA adapter.

However, my 4wd 465 was a mere $40....they are commonly found for $150 or less, and the shaft will cost nearly that...
