NP205 speedometer gear interchangeability
 

I just swapped out the T221 for divorced mount 205 in my '63. I have the mounting issues, driveline modifications finished as of today. I have exhaust to reroute, shifter design and speedometer to finish. I thought that the speedometer connection was going to be the easiest part but found out today that I couldn't be more wrong. I noticed early on that the steel "driven gear" that screws into the tail section of the Dodge 205 was missing and really didn't give it a second thought. Well today after I finished putting the gear lube in, I decided to look online for the driven gear thinking that GM, Dodge and Ferd all used the same one. Epic fail. It appears that the Ferd is a slip in style with a retainer bolt, I haven't seen the GM style yet and the Dodge is a screw in steel type which hasn't been made for a while and even used is tough to find. I guess I could possibly swap out the tail housing for a GM style and have better parts availability but I wanted to get some opinions and maybe even some pics of the GM ones that some of you have. Or better yet, if anyone has a Dodge style driven gear in good shape, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for any advice you can lend. Chris

Maybe I should post on a Dodge site? Anyone have a link to a good one?

Chevy is a screw in steel type also, if I understand what you are looking for.

I would have thought them to be the same as well. If I remember correctly the speedo gear in my 205s is very similar to my 221. Although I'm not familiar with the dodge units. Would the one from your 221 fit into your dodge 205? (I'm sure you've already tried that)

Pics of the dodge?
