Low Hump vs High Hump

I have a 79 Ford F150 4x4 with automatic transmission. Ordered the correct replacement carpet (high hump for 4x4) and it appeared to be to big by at least 1-2". Does anyone have the depth or height measurement for a "high hump" center? I am worried that even though a 4x4 I have a low hump center and don't realize it. Have looked pretty hard to find measurements to resolve without luck. Any help is appreciated.

If you have a bolt-on cover over a factory-cut transmission tunnel, it is a high hump. If the floor does not have a factory-cut transmission tunnel, it is a low hump.

Got the bolt in tunnel but question

If you measure from the floor to the top of the tunnel at the 4wd shifter how tall is it??

Again purchased a high hump floor liner and it was way to big, just want to confirm height prior to ordering anything else. Thanks,

If for sure at the 4WD shifter you are measuring 8", I just went out and laid a straight edge across the "hump" right at the 4WD shifter and it measures 6.5" from the floor. It may appear that I have a low hump.

Anyone with a low hump know the measurement about half way between the seat and the firewall?

Want to make sure that it fits.

^^^Too big is better than too small though. Worst case scenario, trim .5-1" from both sides and call it good.
