Hilux gearshift that comes out sideways (maybe Hiace)

[Billzilla]

I've been told that some of the Hilux (or Hiace?) versions come out with a W series gearbox but sitting on its side, so the gear shift mechanism effectively sticks out sideways from the extension housing.
If it's true, which Hilux is is and which way does the stick point?
And if it's to the left, where can I get one?

the box may bolt to W BH but is not a W box.. G comes to mind?

edit, van type boxes have two levers no?

Not sure but I guess those are the ones, ta mate.
Looks like I won't be able to use them in that case.

The Hilux diesel 4 speed looks like this, is available if you want it. No shift lever though

Thanks but I won't be able to use that gearbox.
Found the gearbox I was asking about and it looks like this ...



Can't use that one either!

Ah well have to go back to Plan A ...... lots of fabrication.

that's same as the liteace box linked above
afaik, all the underfloor boxes have two levers, rather than a single actuation point like a normal floor shift
