Thanks to 503M715, I have a NP205. Mike picked it up for me today. Hope to be back on the road in no time now
Now to do some research on twin stick and look at some diagrams for mounting up the parking brake.

Is it divorced? When will it be here? Is your truck still driveable?
My truck is down for the count right now.
Phoenix is making me a set of brackets that he showed in his other thread to make the mounting easier.
Yes its a divorced passenger drop. Mike got it today so I need to figure out logistics of getting it. Once I get it I want to put new seals in (OMG that is what started this ) and prob twin stick it. Think I can use the stock shifters/linkage with some bending. Unsure if the parking brake will be a bolt on or a fab up. Want to do it all right the first time so this is the last t-case fun I have to deal with.
if you just want to twin stick it all you have to do is pull the flat tie peice from in between the shift rails. if you want to have the rear neutral front engaged option then you have to completly dissasemble the case.
congrats on the score

Too bad Mike's not in Utah. I won't be passing by Oregon for a few weeks.
Hey!!! WAIT JUST A MINUTE!!!! Tomorrow Nick has a soccer game in Camas (Vancouver area). If you can talk Mike into bringing it up to me there, I can have it at my place tomorrow night.
I'll be at 2909 SE 3rd Ave, Camas, WA 98607 from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday, 11/1).

yeah you really dont want to do that, but with the stock 715 shifters you may be fine, the 200s don't have the pills like the 205s do if i remember correctly, so the interlock is in the shifter mechanism. i suppose you could do it without tearing down the case, but it can't be easy. for no harder than it is tearing down the case is the way i would go, giving you an inspection opportunity and the opportunity to re-seal.
what i was saying is that the 205 will opperate fine with no mods if you just put two sticks on it and go. if you want the ability to do front digs rthen you have to modify the rails or remove the pills. i wouldn't reccomend front digs in a m715

Being the rookie here, which of the divorced NP205 best adapts to our M715s standard transmission or should I also be looking for a NP465 tranny as well?
You need a divorced NP205 to mate it to the stock transmission. A divorced t-case is also the best route to go if doing a repower on a budget. You just need a 2wd transmission that way.
Now, a married NP205/transmission/engine set up out of a Dodge or Chevy truck is real easy to put in. New mounts and drive shafts will be needed however.
Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.
