Usually the higher hump will be squared off as well. Most non 3 on the tree manual transmission equipped trucks have the higher hump, IIRC.

If the shifter is on the floor in the factory spot it is High Hump.

Yep - very helpful.

Just to summarize: most 2wd autos are low hump, most manuals and 4x4 are high hump.

Easy way to tell, the high humps are bolt on, the lows aren't.

edit: Looks like that changed around 86?

The green one is a 76 Blazer 4 speed/205, the black one is an 82 turbo 350/208

My '84 K30 has a one piece floor, no bolts (wish it did ). Factory 454/TH400/205, cab-and-chassis if it matters...

Hope this helps,

Joe

The military CUCV K30s are high humps and are also one piece, no bolts.

Gotta love the bolt on humps it makes it pretty easy to convert an auto to a stick

Re: how to tell if floor is high hump or??

Not all high humps are bolt on.
Generally speaking...
all blazers were high humps. Autos were solid, manual were bolted.
all 1 tons were high humps. auto=solid manual=bolted
pickups sm465 (floor shift) equipped were high bolted 4x4 and 4x2.
Auto 4x4 were high and could be bolted or not.
Column shift were low tunnel
