Say goodbye to the headaches of clearance and hello to smooth shifting with Auto Metal Direct‘s new transmission swap panel. AMD just released this brand-new transmission swap panel for 1981-1991 Chevy and GMC C/K Square Body trucks and SUVs designed to simplify engine and transmission swaps for the owner.

The new swap panel is based on the four-wheel-drive design of the floor pans from 1984 and later GM trucks. There is ample room for a variety of transmission swap options and the customer does not have to replace the entire floor pan. Perfect for those who would like the added clearance of a factory 4×4 floor, but can’t or don’t want to go through the extensive modifications usually required.

One of the key points of this new product is adaptability. Although designed to fit most C/K models, such as the C10, C20, C30, K10, K20, K30, Blazer, Jimmy, and Suburban, it can be easily modified. This makes it suitable for custom applications and those not requiring floor shift or transfer case cutouts.

The owners of 1981-1983 models should take note that some reshaping at the back of the tunnel may be required to have a perfect fit. To allow for this, AMD has designed it to be easy to reshape as necessary.

This transmission swap panel is built with high-quality material to make it strong and long-lasting. This is an answer to various needs and can withstand the rigors of everyday driving and performance applications.

The company advises checking the application before ordering to ensure installation goes without a hitch. AMD has made it easy by providing a complete list of compatible vehicles on the company’s website. Because of its size, there will be a $9.99 oversized fee for shipping.

This new transmission swap panel from AMD is a breath of fresh air for classic truck enthusiasts. It makes it much easier to upgrade to a modern drivetrain, which will have improved performance and reliability while keeping the look and feel of those classic vehicles. It is also easy to install, and adaptable to different types of Chevy and GMC squarebodies that would benefit from having a little more room between the floor and the transmission.
