If your hump is removable I would take it off to so you can access the transfer case shifter also.

Anyone ever pull a cab and find a way to lay it on its back to work on the bottom side?
I cant figure out how to lay it down on back to clean and seal bottom of cab....without damaging anything

Mine is laying on its back on a pallet, just do it gently. I'm a big guy and can do it by myself but get a friend. I usually have it on 6x6's on the rockers.
If your cab corners are rusty though you'll need more help. I'm getting ready to shoot another coat of primer on the bottom. The color and clear. It will be the first time for color and clear and I figured the bottom was the best place to try it.
