Haha yeah man, the everclear jello shots got me singin too. Great times bro, glad you brought your bass :saweet:
 
Damn you. I thought I was the only one with this crazy idea. I guess I'll one up and complete my doubler setup. Five sticks, none of them labelled. Noone will want to drive my rig, I can hear it now:" AHHH! WTFing HELL! How am I supposed to shift this thing?!"

Mine will get cut up next year. Was supposed to be this year, but funds ran short, so next spring the 90 Burb will go on the chopping block to breath a different life into the 88 Burb. More of a boob job than an organ transplant..........

If done properly boob jobs are splendid :D. I may leave the shifter on the column to achieve 5 sticks of confusion (probably not). I hear the funds thing too, getting married next month... :sign26::deal:
 
I meant to add this earlier but forgot:doah:

What I had to do with the 88 when I added the Ranger/465 combo was cut the entire tunnel section out from where the floor goes up to the firewall all the way back to between the bucket seats. I cut the sides just far enough to get a good flat spot on the downslope to the floor boards (I can do a visual in paint when I get home Wednesday if you'd like). After installing the OD/trans I fitted a new piece of sheetmetal over the top and formed it slightly higher (2wd truck with the lower trans hump) and made my new shifter holes in that.

I did this for two reasons: one was that there was already a hole from the 465 when it was installed w/o the OD, and two was for ease of access to the top of the OD/trans without having to drop them. Using a rubber sealing tape and plenty of sheetmetal screws it has sealed up well and minus the carpet being chopped up, you'd think it was stock. The sheetmetal I used was slightly thinner than the floorboards, but has held up well since it isnt used for any weight bearing activities.

I thought this might help you out.

That's kinda what I was thinking, great info and would totally appreciate the paint visual.
Thank you!

Summit did just deliver my flywheel though.....

Which flywheel did you use? I emailed around and the Ram #1550 was the cheapest I could find that would bolt to the gen3 and use the old school clutch. Ram said it's drilled for both style clutches. A few other parts like a spacer, longer bolts, and special pilot bearing are needed.

Spacer GM 12563532
Ram flywheel #1550
Longer bolts GM 12563533
LS2 pilot bearing GM 12557583
Standard clutch for the SM465

That's what my research has concluded. The parts list is all theoretical.

Like I said, I'll be back home Wednesday, so I'll take a few pics of the floor and use paint to show where my cuts were made. I might try to pull up the carpet so you can see exactly how the trans hump was done, but I think I have to remove the seats, so that might not happen......

Very cool of you, thanks again:waytogo:! I certainly wouldn't expect you to remove your seats although it would be great to see.

I went with a Zoom flywheel # zzz-50-6525 $86.94 delivered
Ram kevlar pilot bushing # bu-656k $53.95
ARP bolts # arp-200-2807 $14.95
Already had a new Centerforce clutch.

I've got septic tank issues now (always something :doah:) and will get back to my install asap and update...
 
Here is a shot from the top (sorta). The red is where I cut the floor, and the green is the new sheetmetal. I overlapped the new about 1.5"-2" and notched the top so it would form to the original floor a little better. I used a rubber sealing tape between the panels to keep the water from getting under the carpet.

Here is a shot from the side. Again the red is the cut and the green is where the new panel covers.

Sorry I couldnt get the carpet pulled back. It was too stiff and I didnt want to take out the seats cuz I'm lazy.

Thank you for taking the time to do that, I appreciate it :D. I will do the same thing and post up all the pics from start to finish. Off to see Dave Mathews at the Gorge today so i'll get started tomorrow if my head don't hurt to much :doah:...
 
Sorry the pictures arent any better. I never realized how much the carpet was stained up till I saw the pics. Must be the camera; adds ten pounds and a myriad of stains:rolleyes:
 
any progress on this? i've been really considering this setup on my crew cab so i can run 5.13s and 38s on the freeway.
are you goin to run a bench or buckets? i would like to keep the bench and run a modded shifter on the 465. anyways enough about my problems.
 
I know for my setup (if I ever get around to doing it) I was going to use cable shifters for the t-cases. Then I could tuck them up next to the bucket seat and still have a little room for a fabbed center console. Add a fourth cable shifter and use it as a throttle for poor man cruise control or just to really f*** with people :haha:
 
i was thinkin either cables or a custom shifter assembly bolted to the side of the 465 for t-case
i just looked and realized mr2stroke is prob goin buckets with how far back the twin sticks are.
 
Yes they are buckets, sorry I haven't got the sticks in yet... i'm staring at them as I type this, getting married in a few days. Everything is here to finish it, will do as soon as I get back from Vegas. 5.13's and 38's is exactly what i'm running, have back-up's (4.56's) if it's not happy.
