Novak Adapters has a great website with a really informative article about the SM420 trans. Try http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/sm420.htm for serial no. codes, etc. I had a 50 3/4 ton with 2 piece drive shaft. The trans. tail shaft had the 4-bolt flange for that ball shaped u-joint housing (just like a 1/2-ton) and the front drive shaft was torque-tube back to the carrier bearing. The rear shaft was open.
