Question Transmission hump

I am ordering carpet for my truck. In order to complete my order I have to tell them if I have a high or low tunnel.
I have no idea how to tell the difference between a high or low tunnel.
Could somebody help me out here.

reg. cab 2wd

I didn't know there was a difference. Did you check the online store here? I know there are carpet kits specifically designed for your truck....I have seen them on ebay before too.

You should have a low tunnel as high tunnels were used for 4 speed manuals and 4WD. hope this helps.

I also thought a hight tunnel was only used for 4 speed manuals, but it was after I told them that it was a c-6 that they said they had to know if it was a high or low tunnel.
Years ago I had a 74 f-150 that the top of the tunnel was removable, I wonder if that is what determines a high or low tunnel???

I apreciate the replys so far.

Yes if it has a bolt on cover about 2" high it is high tunnel. Your 79 should be low tunnel. The only 2wd c6 trucks with high tunnel I have seen were 75-earlier.

Peek under the existing carpet and see if you have a bolt on cover over the trans hump. The cover is about 1' wide x 2' long.

I just bought a truck just like yours last week for parts. I'll look this morning, before I leave, and give you the scoop on it.

I appreciate all the help! Now I can go ahead and finish my order.
It's not too often I need to ask questions on this site, but it sure is a life saver when I need it.
Thanks,
John
