Cut the tunnel back to accomidate the new shifter location and its larger base. Tried the stock lever that came with this trans and as you can see its a bit too long for this much smaller cab; almost like an old rat rod shifter.

Also gets into the steering wheel as its set up for a much wider full size cab. Custom lever for this application in works.

Gutted that lever for the threaded insert and will build to suit. Rear of the tunnel now opened to accommodate the new 4WD selector location.

The difference between now and what was there originally is minimal and they look like they belong together. So glad I moved that rear selector forward.

My stock Toyota leather boots and console damn near fits though the span of these two levers is just a touch too wide to leave as is but it was close.
Moving onto the firewall next.
Thanks for looking!
