High hump or low hump..That is the question? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

doobiebro · 12-08-2011, 11:42 PM

Okay guys I ordered a rubber floor mat for my 1960 truck and I told the sales guy the truck had a 235 engine, 3 on the tree and he says you have the low hump for sure....FINALLY after being on back order (2 weeks) received it and layed it on the driver side and fit perfect. So I had to cut a hole in the center to slide it over the custom shifter and this is what it looked like.

Did a search on this great forum and found out the high hump is bolted on just like mine. Is it possible to have the high hump with the same description the sales guy gave me or is he full of s..t?? I also returned the rubber mat and received the right one a month and 3 weeks later..... What a drag?

You have the high hump. Your truck may have been converted to the high hump since you no longer have the 3 speed.

My 1960 GMC originally came with a 3 speed column shift and it also had a high hump from the factory. Although perhaps all GMC's came with a high hump, I don't know. I made the same mistake 20 years ago with my first mat. Received a low hump mat and cut a hole for the shifter. Fortunately the supplier took it back because at the time they didn't indicate there were actually two different sizes to pick from.

My '60 GMC had a 3 speed on the column and also came with a high hump tunnel; my '60 GMC Suburban has a high hump and 4 speed.

Captainfab when I got the truck 10 years ago it was all stock and it doesnt look like any conversions were made.

Markeb01 I sent this same pic to the vendor and he verified it was a high hump but he made arrangements to pick it up and he sent me the correct one...Good thing. Although the process took forever the vendor was cool about it..

What vendor if you don't mind? Care to comment on the fit quality?

SCOTI I got the rubber floor mat from Brothers. It was on sale and it fit like a glove especially if you still have the buttons that hold the mat in place. Only regrets is I wish the mat covered the whole floor (under the seat) since I layed dyna mat. Didnt want to go with carpet since I live in the desert. Will need to post a pic when I get a chance.
