Advanced Adapters makes a kit that will adapt a NP205 (round bolt pattern - hard to find), NP208, or NP241 to a 4L60e.

The stock adapter will work for one of these trucks with 700R4/4L60 and NP208/241

Thanks @ VileZambonie I just purchased the adapter .. I have a 5.3/4l60 out of a 2005 truck with a 241 t/c out of a 91 suburban with vss.I am wanting to wire up the vss and the 4 w/d so the pcm knows when its in 4-low..But have also thought about a switch on the transfer case shift lever its self or even a toggle switch mounted remotely. Has anyone have experience with this?
