Re: high hump ?

Mine had the short hump from the factory. It was converted to HIGH hump when we installed a manual transmission due to clearance issues.

I left it that way when the 700r4 went in and have hopes of the 6L80 in the near future.

Oh yeah. They are also used to make it tougher to order the right carpet kit.

As I understand it a "low hump" is about 3" and the "high hump" is about 6".

Re: high hump ?

So far as I am aware, it went something like this:

All 4wd - high hump (As stated)
Manual trans floor shift - high hump
Big Block 2wd - high hump

I've never owned a truck that wasn't high humped

If you could, they would not have had a high hump.

4wd-all high hump, majority of the autos small, it varies with engine/trans combo
