| | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 44 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 44 | I purchased a rt. & lft floorboard with 10 in. of toe board. they are about 3/4 of an in. from joining in the center where the transmission plate fits. Where can I find the correct demensions of the floor from the outside edge to edge of the rocker panels by measuring at the front door posts ,and from corner to corner in an X to make sure the cab is square.. I may just have to make a piece to fill in the space between the panels but would like to make sure of the measurements first. Can anyone offer help? THANKS

I'm not sure where you want the diagonal dimension measured from?
Paul | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 | The most important measurement is that the holes in your floorpans line up with the cab mount holes in the frame. The best way is to use the frame as a jig. If the rear mounts are attached then you can position the floorpans over the cab mount holes, drop the bolts thru and then tack them in. My floorpans were the same as you describe being short in the middle but I just left the original center area there as it was'nt rotten and I cut the pans to join up at the corners of the opening. Remember it may not have been square to begin with. Good luck.

I got tired of doing body work after working on the back of the cab all day and started pulling, engine ,trans and rear end out to clean and paint before rebuilding the suspension. I didn't get a diagonal measurement ,but will tomorrow. I would like to check it with yours. Paul thanks for your reply.I replaced the floor braces in mine. the holes match with the frame, but as you said they may not have been square to begin with. I will put it back on the frame before welding in the floor ,but really wanted some reference. Does anyone know if the assembley manual has measurments?? Thanks Kent
