Re: High Humps`
60-66 4-speeds. Early ones were bolt in rear half and later were welded in. The black one is my low hump modified for T5 the other is for new stuff.

Re: High Humps`
Any good reason to run a high hump with TH350 or TH400 tranny? Or any other auto tranny for that?

Re: High Humps`
I like where your head is at (LS Swap)! There was one at U-Pull-It North last year, but it has since gone on to the great scrap yard in the sky. I'll keep my eye out for one. Otherwise, we might be able to build a buck using mine, and fabricate one out of sheet steel... Obviously, this should be a last resort, unless you are way better at fabrication than I am! ;0)

Re: High Humps`
So this is a high hump than? If so, my other truck has one and I didn't even know it. PO just put a rug over the hole and I never paid any attention to it because I just didn't care.... I guess it looks like LVPhotos top hump.

Re: High Humps`
Yes that is a high hump. My truck has the same. It came with the 4 speed. The only advantage I could see is it might give the Lokar trans mount shifter more room. Not sure on that though. I will find out soon enough.

Re: High Humps`
What do they usually go for when someone on here sells one?

Re: High Humps`
I just paid $100 each piece. Tom at Tuckers Trucks was hesitating on cutting cab for fwd piece. But he'd torched it and while I worked on truck buddy of mine drilled out spot welds.

Re: High Humps`
Pay for clean parts and there are no trucks in junk yards here. Wants 50 for ash tray. Like I said rust free.
