The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts floor pan for a 50

Does anyone know where to find cab floor pans. I could make them. just trying to save some time (1950 chev 6400) Also will the emer. brake drum from a 53 6400 fit the trans. on my 50. I have an entire tranny with bell housing. It seems to me its a better parking brake. Merry Christmas Happy birthday Jesus.

I believe as far as floor pans go. they are the same size from pickups up. the hoods and fenders are a little bigger for the bigger trucks. Some of the others will be in later to correct me if I'm wrong. Most of the well known vendors such as American Classics carry floor pans.

Hi,
Merry Christmas.
The cabs are the same size..you can use 1/2 patchs for your big bolt. Just fixed a 48 1 1/2 floor.

You can get new reproduction floor pans for the 47-53's from Kelley's Classic Auto Supply over in Sparks, GA or from Obsolete Chevy in Nashville, GA. Just thought I'd let you know because they are within driving distance of you, so you wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

I'm looking for the rear mount brake for my 49, too! You will need the whole back plate off the trans, as it has the cast mounts on it for the brake bands. Mine had cables, whacked off by someone, and now a diff rear than stock. The trans mount is so much nicer. Those floor pans can be gotten from most vendors. They are even offering half floors with toebaord part attached now. OR, can get either side and toe board all seperate too. A new source for such parts, cheaper than most is Raybuck's. Try www.raybuck.com no S in it. Not much on site, but I got catalog showing the parts. Most tins are made by one outfit, just prices are different. Bow Tie Bits is good place. Chevs of the 40s now has the most available tin I have ever seen, can almost make a whole new cab with all their parts. They don't have roof or cab back window area, but everything else, including the back of can and below gas tank and accross the front cowl at windsheild. First I have seen on those parts from anyone. Be sitting down when they give you their prices!!

Those AD floor pans are easy to make, they're all flat metal plates. I made a template out of card board and transfered it to a sheet of plate steel, several guages thicker than the original sheet metal, and cut it out. Tack weld each piece in until they are all in and weld up solid, done.
