ordering carpet-stupid question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How the heck to i know if i have a 'high hump' or 'low hump'? I am running a column shift on my 57 now, but i have no idea how much difference there is or what it originally was. I'm going to order carpet for it and don't want the wrong piece.

this is the best picture i have while at work.

Not a dumb question. I'd like to know as well.

Low hump

High hump

Pretty sure if you had a 3 on the tree you have a low hump and if you had a the stick on the floor then you have a high hump. If someone else knows for sure can chime in.

AH that makes sense. Guess I'm a high hump

Thanks Jim. That helps. It's a high hump but it sure is not 'high'. Not much difference. Maybe 2" higher than the pan.

As I recall my 59 w/ 4 on the floor had a hump and my current 3 on the tree 59 doesn't.

From that and the pictures it really should be 'normal' and 'hump'!
