The existing floor pan has an continuous indention that can be followed when cutting. If the truck doesn’t have a transmission installed you can remove the old hump with a metal cutting wheel, plasma cutter, metal shears or pneumatic cutting saw.

Be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves for the next steps.
Since our truck had the transmission installed we used an Ingersol Rand pneumatic air saw with a medium tooth metal cutting blade. Be very careful while cutting to make sure that electrical wiring, modulator valve line, transmission dipstick tube and transmission cooling lines are clear of the blade.
Be careful lifting the cut out metal section because of sharp edges.
