 That little bump in the center of the ex-cab. Can I cut it out?

I have a '93 ex-cab and that little bump in the center of the back seat where the seat belts attach to is really messing up my storage arrangement. I want to cut it out and just sheet it in flat but something tells me that it is probably engineered as part of the crash protection or something. Does anyone know if I can cut it out and still legally pass an inspection? Sure chances are slim that anyone would even notice but I was just curious if it actually served a purpose or not?

The gas tank might cause interference.
America's first fourwheel drive was built in Mankato, MN by Ernest Rosenburger in 1908 who founded Four-Traction Auto Co. on Hickory Street. The company though successful closed in 1913.

Yeah the cut out is to clearance the gas tank. If you think it's bad in the xcab you should try dealing with it in a standard cab...
If you have a body lift I'm pretty sure it isn't needed, but if you're stock you'd hit the tank if you left it in when you cut.

If you have a body lift, you might be able to cut some of it out and flatten it a bit. X-tra cabs aren't as bad as standard cabs, but it's still a pain.
