Re: center hump

I don't have any photos, but I believe the center hump in 4wd/manual transmission is bolted in and higher. It should be the only difference, so if you took a removable hump and cut your floor it could bolt in. My truck was originally a 2wd with a 4spd and it has a high hump.

Re: center hump

I hope its not too late to help. The pic is from a 79, 1/2 ton, 4x4, with manual and is factory original so this is the way it was manufactured. Let me know if you need others. In looking it appears mine looks like yours with the center hump section being bolt removable. The portion that sits under the seat is epoxied in place.

Re: center hump

yea i think my floor has been cut already to make a 2wd drive cab to a 4wd the problem is who ever did they rivet it down and tic welded it because i know it did not come stock like that and it is rusting where it was cut before

Re: center hump

I only have one other image here with me so Ive attached it. I also did a close up of the one already posted. I would be happy to take other photos when i get home post them this eve.

Mine shows no signs of any welding at least from what I remember. I only took the pics the other night. I will take a real close look tonight also.

Re: center hump

mhmm...looks like someone welded the rear cover right to the floor? it looks like you have the high hump 4x4/manual floor so it should be all good

Re: center hump

if you want it to be removable again grind/torch/cut that section out, and make some tabs out of angle to bolt it back on. but I'm a lazy cuss, I'd just leave it

Re: center hump

It appears the rear section of the hump is epoxied in from underneath. Mine shows no sine of cutting or welding.
