How far back is needed for that shifter/hump?
Is it possible to measure from the floor/firewall seam, or maybe I missed that in this thread.

I have a bench seat 4 speed, I know the bench will not work, but it would be nice to know.
No plans to remove the bench, it's actually extremely comfortable, and the kid wants it to remain too.

Tunnel is tall all the way back where that side to side hump is in the floor. A TKX is a lot smaller. Yeah may be able to modify bench seat frame to clear the bigger tunnel.

Removed rear panels for carpet replacement. I put some generic non matching green carpet back there in the '80s when I gutted interior to find and fix all the various water leaks.

Bought a new M&H rear light harness from Year One. Its an identical exact match to the 55 year old original harness. Old harness had cracked wire insulation on reverse lights and gas guage. It was just very old and very tired...
