Re: What was the PO thinking ... ?
Hi 6flee3, some people should never work on vehicles, your best bet is to find one in pick/pull, go in with a saws all and lots of batteries and cut one out, have`nt been to any yards lately but some here have, they might chime in. We have about twenty here on this site from Sac area.

Re: What was the PO thinking ... ?
I have a low hump with a the 350, no issues. There is an ad on CL for a c60 parting out but I think they were all high humps, so my next best idea would be to run thru the local pik and pull yards.

Re: What was the PO thinking ... ?
Could of had a 700r4 at one time my old 65 came with one in it and one of the P.O. did the same thing to the hump to make it fit...it was a burnt up 700r4 when i got the truck so i ended up swapping a th350 in since the trannys are only about a 1/4 to 3/8 diffrence in length so you dont have to have a drivline made....most likely the same swap out has happened with your truck.

Need to correct myself ...a th350 with a 9inch tail-shaft is almost the same in length as a 700r4 trans.

Re: What was the PO thinking ... ?
I've got a similar problem. PO installed a floor shifter with a TH400. The only thing is they put bucket seats in and have the shifter between the seats so it doesn't look terrible. I'm still pulling it all out for a column shift. I have a low hump but will have to go to high hump for my air bag setup. Hopefully there will be some of these sections left to be found out there.
