1979 floor stamping: how many types?

Need to purchase a cab for a 79 but I don't know the floor differences. Can one of you fill me in on this, ie: are there differences between auto trans, SM 465 4 speed, 4x4 etc.?? Not talking about the holes in the floor, the actual floor stamping.

Thanks

There is a high hump 4x4 that bolts in .the 2wd floor is lower and it would have to be cut out right under the seat because it is in 2 pices.

2wd automatic and column shifted manual trans are low hump.

4wd or floor shifted manuals (M20 or MY6) are high hump.

(ie, shifter on the column = low; shifter on the floor = high)
