cab swap question
i'm in the middle of doing a cab swap. the cab i'm putting on my chassis is a two wheel drive. my question is do i have to cut the whole tunnel out or just enough to clear the top of the tranny ( 4spd. ) and t-case lever ? thanks in advance.

I just did the same thing this week and I just cut out enough room the get the sticks in, works fine. I cut them just smaller than the rubber boot that cover them.

thanks guys, i'm going to just follow the floor pan cover pattern and go from there. i see no reason to have one big hole if i don't need too. if i can just cut a square out for the tranny and an oval one for the transfer case then thats what i want to do .
also is there a gasket that fits the cover ?
thanks again.

I thought about just cutting holes big enough for the shifters, but then decided not too once I looked at it closer and realized it would be a perfect spot for water/mud/etc to get stuck. I cut out the whole opening and am glad I did since it also gave me better access to the tranny
