1973-1987 trans hump in a 1970?

[Cadden]

Sorry if this has already been asked. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms.

Will a 73-87 transfer trunnle bolt up to a 70 or do they have different patterns/shapes?

My Jimmy didn't come stock with a np205, and the hole in the tunnle doesn't quite line up and I had to grind a little off the side of the hole for my shifter to shift freely.

Attached is a picture I found of a tunnle for a later model chevy or gmc with np205

They are different. 73 and up is more square and wider, different curvature at front.

I found one at a junkyard and built a custom box on top to house my triple stick shifters. My trans shifter doesn't sit on the hump cover, its further back.

I have one leaning against my shed off a '71 K10 Burb with a TH-350/NP205 ..
Been there 20 years,but still looks as good as the day I put it there..some surface rust but no rot..
Too bad its 3000 miles from where you are..

It’s amazing that you put it there 20 years ago & it’s still there...too much snow and wind storms in my neck of the woods for that to happen...lol

I ended up cutting my original tunnle a bit and made it work with a new boot and plate.
My carpet is going in once my new seats from LMC truck show up this Friday.

I’m going with these seats...wife likes the ass warmer but I like the look. The originals are long gone & likely not that comfortable anyway

Yep. With 4 kids it'll be nice to have the extra seat in the middle

 

[ashman]

Where is that from?

LMC truck. Ran just under 1800 all together for seats, middle buddy console, and bracket

Shop4seats had a nice setup with heated seats and an option to add seat massagers. and a similar middle seat but they were only about 1500ish but nothing would ship until August

I need a 4 kid solution too. I'm looking forward to seeing the seats installed in your rig!
