4x4 trans tunnel

I am swapping a 2x4 crew cab over to 4x4. I already swapped all brackets and have the 2x4 frame on the 4x4 axles. I do not really want to cut out the floor for the 4x4 trans tunnel. Can you do a body lift to clear the trans and t case in lieu of cutting out the tunnel?

It isn't too bad to cut the floor and bolt the high hump on. New carpet or mat and it's good to go

Turbo 400 NP205. Im not scared of the work. I can't find a bolt in hump local. All the trucks in the scrap yard are the one piece floor. I'd have to cut that out and make it into a bolt in piece. I'd rather not cut the floor out if I don't have to.

The turbo 400 is easier than the 4 speed I bet. I think your trouble spot will be the ridge that goes across door to door under the front edge of the seat. I remember it being tight there even with a high hump.

Re: 4x4 trans tunnel

Around here guys used to use a 2" body lift rather than cut the floor.

Re: 4x4 trans tunnel

82 was the last year for bolt in tunnel. The shape of the floor hump is very different in 83 up. I just converted a 87 cab to 4X4 high hump and I had to find another cab and cut the high hump out larger than mine was cut out and punched it all around and spot welded it in.
