What's wrong with the tranny tunnel you have? is there some fitment issue w/ the replacemnt tranny? i'd think the (unplanned) 1" lift would help that.

And - are you concerned about noise and/or fitment issues w/ the homemade floor pans being so flat, as compared to the original?

I'm using the original tunel as a "template" only .. I will not be reusing it ..(as you can see in the pics).

old one wont work , just simply be Kuz I said so !

I'm still in the process of building .. so please be patient .. I still have to add some corragation , or bead roll for strengtheners to stiffen up the floor .. I will also have to build some "plates" undernieth .. I still have a ways to go ....

but I apprecieate your comments .

so more work on the tunnel , and a solution to the cab floor , and Trekker tub connection .....

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

so now with the basic "mock up" of the floor and tunnel , I can now cut the floor of the tub and build a deeper floor for the rear seat passengers

[Linked Image]

and starting a new fiberglass tunnel (templating from my new tunnel)

[Linked Image]


one issue , maybe ............ I cant find anyone in our town with a plenishing hammer .. so no floor corragations .. I guess we'll see how it goes .

Corey,

Looks great! How will you make the transition from the steel to fiberglass floor?

thanks .... there will be a crossmember undernieth for support , and the fiber floor is then bolted (originally screwed) and sealed to the metal floor .
