Those are all married. If you're getting a divorce 205 look for one from a 1969-1975 International pickup or Travelall. If it were me running a Chevy 350 I would look for a used SM465/NP205 combo and it would bolt right up to the engine, you would just have to change your transmission crossmember. The SM465 is a Chevy truck 4 speed and they were married to a NP205 with a right hand front output. You would also need two drivelines made afterwards. You could also adapt your stock e brake set up to this. Get the modified NP205 shift rails that let you control each rail separately. You could then modify your stock Tcase shifters and e brake handle to keep the interior relatively stock looking.

Good. That is the much easier way with a 350 already installed. There are threads on getting the stock e brake adapted to the back of a 205. I know I've seen somewhere that someone adapted the stock M715 ebrake/t-case shifter bracket to the side of the SM465. They then did the shift rail conversion on the 205, modified the ebrake and t case shifter linkages and it looked relatively stock from the drivers seat.

Congrats Teking on your find. I know your search is resolved. But the following info is for search results in the future.
Knowing my divorced 205 was out of a Dodge I could not remember what the seller said it was out of. This is from Offroad Design's website. Good info below..

Dodge used divorced NP205's from '69-'74 in their entire truck line, then used married NP205's only in the W250 and W350 trucks from '80-'93.
