Tranny hump - short or tall?

I have my third K5 and this one is my first 2wd. Between the three of them I've been driving one daily for almost 11 years. But it's been ten years ago since I had my last one, a 4x4. It's been so long I can't tell the difference in the tranny hump. It seems to be where it always was on my two previous 4x4 K5's.

How do you determine what you have? Aside from ordering the correct carpet kit, I need a tranny scatter shield on this 2wd and I need to know if it will fit.

My truck is a 2wd '79.

Thanks!

I am trying to think about this and I think they are the same, it's just the hole that makes them not the same..

In the past 30 years about 90% of Fords are still on the road, the other 10% made it home.

No kidding... I was looking in parts books and saw that qualifier and wondered how that bit of info had slipped by me. Pretty easily, all three of my 73-87's have been K5's. <shrug?> Gotta ask before you order!

Thanks Captainkaos.
