Off topic, but how can you tell if you have the low hump, or the high hump?

well i have bad news the sides of the hump is rusting under neath the floor i pulled some of the filler up and there it was rusting away and this means that i am going to have to cut the tic welds and drill out the rivets oh well i guess when i start cleaning up the rust before i take the cab off i will take it out also
