Still looking for an S-10 for my project, but I've got a 5.3 ls that I built for one of my other vehicles but decided I'm going to put it in this truck instead. Hoping to find a late 80s model S-10 so I can use the 700r4 transmission. I want to build my own floor, but does anyone know with this setup if I need a transmission hump in the floor? I'd like to keep it as flat as possible. Just want to know if I should wait to do the floor until I've got my frame and motor/transmission in place or if I can go ahead and build the cab so it's done.

there are so many different ways to set up the engine/trans mounts and body mounts that I would at least wait to build the tunnel. a good example is husseys truck, the mounts on his truck and mine were roughly the same height but he needed a much larger trans tunnel than I did.
