There’s no hole for the dimmer switch on the newer carpet. There may be a hump size difference but I don’t know that for sure.

Can anyone else confirm there's no differences between the various model years 73-74, 75-80, 81-87 in the shape of the floor boards/trans bump? Is 2wd and 4wd the same shape trans tunnel minus the hole for the shifter?

Asking because I'd much rather have loop carpet in the 86 than that cut pile, but seems loop carpet is only offered for 73-74 models.

Dimmer switch hole don't matter to me. Either leave it open or install one and use it to run some accessory lights or something.
