56 Three Speed Sag To Four Speed Sag - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting ready to replace my 3-on-the-tree Saginaw with an M&R Racing 4 speed Saginaw, along with Patrick's open driveline shifter. This is going in my 56 stepside shortbed. Neither are here yet, thus my question. Do you have to buy a new access floor panel for the 4 speed(a higher hump)? Looks like all you need to do is just cut a hole for the floor shift, and boot it up right? The trannys look identical to me and I know they bolt right up to the 235's.
Thanks

It should bolt right in place.

You can either put the shifter in without the handle if it is removable and mark exactly where it goes to get a precise and smaller hole or if you remove the center panel measure and mark.
