Cab question

[777mech]

What are differences between the auto and manual cabs on 73-80 trucks. I know the manual cab has a removable floor section. Does the auto have this as well but without the hole. Can an auto cab floor be cut out for a manual and look factory? How bout the 4wd vs 2wd manual cabs? Are the different. Thanks!

I believe they are 2wd vs 4wd cabs, since the extra height is to allow for the transfer case. When my cab bushings were collapsed there was so little clearance that the cab floor was resting on top of the transfer case. After replacing the bushings (and therefore raising the cab up) the transmitted noise in the cab dropped so much that I first thought there was something wrong with the engine.

AFAIK, you can just replace the floor section and get the extra height. However, I've never looked at a 2WD cab to verify that it has the same bolt-in section as my 4WD.

Years ago I put a C-10, 2wd cab on a K-30 4wd chassis, both were automatics. I only needed to cut a hole for the transfer case shifter, I don't recall any problems. There may be a fitment issue with a top loader transmission, nothing a sawz-all can't cure.

It’s just the trans tunnel

The bolt-in 4x4 hump is different at the rear than a 2wd manual hump. The 4x4 cab has a bigger hump under the middle of the bench seat. The later 2wd cabs may have the bigger hump under the seat like a 4x4, but at that point, bolt-in humps were gone.
