I'm hoping the trans tunnel from the 78 will unbolt @ re-bolt to the 87.
The 4wd drive tunnel will not bolt direclty into the 2wd, I found this out the hard way. The 4wd floor pan has a flattened area that the cover bolts to that is not present in the 2wd. The other difference is at the cover rear attachment point. Again the 4wd tunnel has a flat area to bolt the cover to. You can bend the 4wd cover flanges down to mate to the 2wd tunnel, along each side, but you will have to do more creative work at the rear.
