Looking to convert auto console into 4 speed. Has anyone done this before who can offer some insight. I heard there is a template out there can anyone tell me where to get it or has one I can buy or borrow. Thanks to all.

It's a simple cut on the side that aligns with the shifter boot. I've done a few of them. I'll try to remember to take a side pic of mine and you can pretty much go by that without a template. Just use a piece of 3/4 masking tape to mark your cut line.

After that to be totally correct you would also need a 4 spd top plate which are shaped a bit different than the auto top plates.

Got a few pictures for you.
The one on top is a four speed console. Hopefully you can see the cutout that needs to done to make it fit. The top plate is available after market nowadays. They used to be pretty hard to find.

Like what was suggested, find a 71-74 console and cut it up. Sell your 70 if you need to help pay for the cheaper 71-74s
