2wd/4wd tranny tunnel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mr. Angry · 08-10-2010, 05:27 PM

Anybody ever swapped a 4wd transmission tunnel into a 2wd cab? Both cabs are 1981-1987 so they have the non-removable tranny tunnel. I'm just wondering if anybody has actually done one before, and if they have some pics or even a procedure.

2wd stick shifts have the same high hump tunnel in them and ALL 4x4's have it. Shouldn't be a problem if you got a low tunnel and want a high one cut the low out and put the high hump on with screws or something so it's removalable.

If you do not want to cut the tunnel in, you can always go the body lift route but IMO I like trucks with out a body lift.

I agree, I absolutely hate body lifts, they are hard on everything. I went through all the trouble to cut out the floorand firewall of my '83 Toyota pickup, so I could fit the SBC and 350/203 combo underneath everything without bodylift.
