Well, depending on ur fabbing skills, I would just make a deal for the 4wd shifter off to the side of the 2wd hump.. Seems like it would be easier than cutting the whole hump out..

Cut the whole 4X4 hump out and make it a bolt in to the 2X4 cab so you can get at the trans easier if need be......

There is a difference between pre automatic OD trans. trucks. 2wd and 4wd's of the day were different for clearance. After the introduction of auto OD's they had the same floor pan. Cut your hump out slightly bigger than you cut out the 2wd one, makes it easy to weld in or just use fasteners.
