High Hump
 
I just ran across this while looking for something else. I did not realize that steel high humps were being reproduced. They must be fairly new. I see that complete firewalls are now available also.

I know there is a vendor working on doing a high hump and the firewall part. Not sure where they are in the process.

Are you taking about Mike Losh?

Clarification on the high hump...whats the need for it...?

Nope one of big the metal guys. I supplied them with a high hump and the fire wall piece. They planned to scan the pieces and see if they could start making them. They have the resources to do it.

The SM420, SM435, SM465 and most newer OEM and aftermarket 5 and 6 speed transmissions need the room.

Is it someone that will make them domestically?

I think they will be out of one of the Taiwanese plants. They are a big supplier of body parts and the resources to get stuff done.

The high hump cover I posted a link to is likely made by that supplier.

Interesting. Great find.

I just received my trans cover today from classic parts and it is not the high hump. From the picture in classics site its hard to tell. I'll give them a call on Monday and see if the high cover is available.

Would you be able to post a pic of the hump you got?

Here are a couple of pics of the trans cover. It seems well made just not tall enough.

OK, I'm not a metal fabricator. But I was looking at what the PO had done to get the trans to clear (first Picture).There are some really good fabricators on this site and I was wondering if anyone has modified their low hump like this? It might be a bit of work but I thought it might work pretty well.

Re: High Hump
 
So it isn't a high hump as it appears in the pics......I stand corrected.

62bagger 09-10-2018 12:11 AM

Re: High Hump
 
the picture was not very detailed. Since I have not found another high hump I was thinking of modifying mine as pictured.

A friend of mine has a 68 Gmc with factory th400. If I remember correctly it has a high hump. Did gm make the high hump a standard for all transmissions in the 67-72 years?

Not sure if you are interested, but I have a two piece high hump listed in the classified section ( CA Garage Sale ) Not as nice as a new one, but might be easier than modifying a low hump.
Good luck with the project,
Tom

No, the '67-'72's had both low and high hump trans covers.

I found this tonight on ebay when searching for a high hump cover...Interesting...not a bad price $150 shipped.

Captainfab 04-05-2019 11:28 PM

Re: High Hump
 
I see that they also have one with no holes, which is nice. However the one review on this cover is not good.

roll_the_dice 04-05-2019 11:59 PM

Re: High Hump
 
I just saw that review. Looks like only part of the 2 piece high hump...wonder why they don't make the upper portion?

Re: High Hump
 
The forward section would be difficult and quite expensive to reproduce. I doubt that people would pay the kind of money a quality steel reproduction would cost when the Slosh Tubz fiberglass version is available.
