Does anyone have pics of the shifter console and the position of the shifter in an LHD, AUTOMATIC 70 series? Especially how they mount and if the base plates are different? Mine's RHD and i need to move the auto shifter over to the left to make room for my twin stick kit. anyone have pics of where it would be stock in an LHD? if it's any different?

I'm 99% sure that RHD and LHD automatic 60 series trucks have the shifters moved left or right depending on driver position

Like this one is RHD, older style shifter:

When I was building my first 79 I looked for years to find a pic of a LHD auto with a center console....never found one. Not sure one exists. I ended up buying a RHD console and modified it to fit but there was very little of that RHD console left when we were done.
 
Well, I bit the bullet this morning and just started takin' stuff apart.... FJ62 shifter works after I drilled some holes, used some nutserts and re-used the HZJ73 linkage rod. it's a little close to the dash and the gear indicator is on the wrong side (didn't think of that). i'm going to disassemble the HZJ73 shifter assembly to see if I can refine it some more. Shifts thru all gears fine, took it on the highway and everything seems just about right. Need to finish wiring the warning lights and use the right 24V bulbs. Definitely took longer than i thought but it now leaves a lot more room for the AA twin stick kit.
