I'll probably end up doing that.

Man look at all that surface area!@Godfather90 , your idea worked beatutifully. I tapped an upper alignment pin hole, stuffed in a spacer, and it popped right apart.

I'll draw up some plans on how I think I can get these two to mate.
Nice work Noodle. Hey what’s the tranny that came with your Toybox??
That adapter plate looks like it's very easy to make. Surprised it's not made anymore.
Is there a 10 spline output available for the nv4500¿That's why I was looking at making my own. Its the output shaft that would be a pain to get made custom.

Sounds like it should be fairly straight forward then!Yep. I have one coming from AA that will replace the 16 spline one I currently have.

I'm excited to see this come together!

It's not possible to re-work that transmission side of the plate you have?I am too! I just need to mind a machine shop that can help make this adapter plate.

What's the stickout look like with this 10 spline output?
What do the two tail housing patterns look like?
It might not be as hard as you think...
Let's get some pictures up!

What's the other side of the ToyBox adapter look like? There's also that round pattern tail housing for the 4500 that might be easier to adapt.I am working on that now. I'm not sure what the stick out on the new output shaft is, but I believe it is quite a bit. Can anyone with a 3-speed case confirm that it is just an input gear, not the whole female shaft like the 4 speed has?

Here are the differences in the patterns. Not really to scale, the toybox is about the same size as the tail housing.

Here are some actual pictures:

I'm thinking that I am going to need to get a piece made for the upper portion of the tail housing to weld on and have the bolt holes drilled and tapped through to mate them. I could do a completely separate plate, but it would be more length to the drivetrain.

What method do you guys think you would do? What would be easier?

Do you still have the original 4500 tail housing?
Just thinking out loud here.

I want to see what the side mating to the transmission looks like.I'd have to get a new tail housing for the NV. The one I have is the long version, so I'd really prefer not to use it.
Here is the other half on the SM side. It's exactly the same as the toybox side.

Ideally you could rework this part to mate to the 4500 and get the stick out right.
That way the other side of this adapter remains unaltered.
