I'm wondering the same thing. There's two Blazer's at the salvage yard with floor shifter that I've been eyeballing.

I've been thinking about doing the same with my 1st gen Jimmy. I did some research a few weeks ago, I don't remember the sites I found that explained it though. It seemed extremely easy, but this was for installing a B&M or Hurst floor shifter not a stock swap.

you would still have the symbols on your instrument cluster, so it would look kinda weird

actually no, I saw some clusters on ebay that can be a direct replacement for the floor shift.
