Thanks all for the helpful tips.
To clarify, here are 3 pictures with one of the panels just sitting in:
Floorboard Floorboard Floorboard I bought those panels over 20 years ago. I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but way back then, I realized the floor boards were weak and rusted. I went to ebay and bought those panels, and cut the existing floor for these to fit. I didn't realize that the floor boards and the foot boards were two pieces. In other words, I cut the foot boards un-necessarily. They were in good shape.. This has depressed me for years. I ruined a good cab. What really bums me out is that you will able to look at the foot boards from under the hood and see the flange is missing and see the overlap.. It made me quit working on the truck for a long, long time. (I originally joined this forum in 1999, I have an entry in" It ran when I parked it" for that year)
Hope this doesn't make any of you sick..
Maybe I can weld a fake flange on(?)
