Help me pic the right carpet. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK so I am getting ready to order carpet for my truck, I have a high hump and will be running an NV4500 so non standard shifter location. Obviously I am running a high hump and am buying ACC carpet.

Here is my question, what is the difference between a carpet for a turbo 400 truck and a 4 speed truck? Both have a high hump to my knowledge, does ACC cut the shifter hole? I would think the carpets would be the same with no holes, but they list two different part numbers.

I figured I would get an answer faster here than from ACC themselves.
Thanks

only buy the mass backed carpet , No the carpet is not pre-cut you will have to trim all the edges and any hole needed for your shifter . seat boat holes ,seat belt holes door edge trim .

Yup, planning on the Mass back. I just thought it was strange there would be 2 different part numbers for basically the exact same carpet.

Not all TH400 trucks were high hump. As an example, my '69 2WD with a TH400 and 350 engine is not. Perhaps someone else can clarify when a truck had a high hump. I know I've seen it discussed here.

Good choice on carpet. Price it at Rock Auto before ordering.

You will not be disappointed. I got the same ACC ( low hump ) and it is very well done.
