I got my low hump cut out for the high hump. I know the high hump cabs have a nut welded on the under side so you can remove without having someone underneath too hold the nuts. But I don't want to weld on my painted cab. What should I do, I know there is nuts with clips on them but what are they called. Thanks

They're called nutserts. Kinda like a rivet and a nut together. You might find them at harbor freight? Got mine from mac tools. Just have to shop around? Hope this helps?

captive or capture nuts... they clip over the metal... might be a issue sealing for fumes

The hump gets sealed,so fumes aren't an issue. Napa sells nutserts in 20 packs.
