It has to do with the transmission hump. The manual 2wd diesels came with the larger hump. while the automatic 2wd came with the smaller one.

Take some measurments. If they measure the same, you are golden. Looks can be deceiving...

My d 250 club cab donor truck has the larger hump. It is an auto. Here are a couple shots from my crew's interior. Auto as well. A larger hump will be about 14" wide and flat on top. All of the 5 speeds have the big hump iirc. Some of the autos did as well.

You would see the difference. the small hump is tiny compared to the big hump. I read somewhere that the only trucks that had the small hump were standard cab autos.

Guys on diesel models the floors were the same from 92 up. My dad has a 91 D250 with a small hump and a 92 D250 with the large hump. Both are auto's. Its a difference in the year. Tranny selection isn't the issue. Not 100% sure but it might have something to do with the frame depth change from 1991 to 1992/93.

All the (reintroduced anyway 90+)club cabs have the 4wd tunnel gas or diesel.

The holes for the Frame are simple do the front spring hanger's then let the frame down some and the back's line up pretty close then drill your holes and your Done . Easy as Pie .

For those of you that have a frame drill setup or arms like Popeye that is.

It is easy with a 3/8 drill. I do it quite a bit. after the holes are marked and center punched use a 1/8" drill then a 1/4" then a 3/8 and finally a 1\2"with a 3/8 shank. it takes a little longer but is a lot easier. because you are not cutting more than 1\16" on a side of the drill bit.
The way I do it is do all the holes that you plan on doing with the smaller drill then all the next size and so on. works great.
P.S> use sharp tools and don't push it let the tool do the work.
