The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk mounting pins in the floor

my 52 has pins or rivit heads sticking out of the floor near the firewall was this to hold the floor mats in place dose anyone make these mats

I think I know what you mean but a picture might help jog someones memory.

Yes. They were put there to mount the rubber floor mats. I believe you can still buy reproduction mats from the specialty stores, but most guys put in carpet.

If you use the original-style rubber mat (Brothers has them on sale at this time) You should consider getting a die-cut under-layment (both the mat and the under-layment will have holes for those "pegs").

If you are looking for the original look, this combinations looks original and it significantly decreases noise.

Brothers also sells carpet to fit 47-55 cabs.

So George and Tim, what year 1952 did they start putting pegs in in the floor for the mats???
None of the '50s had them.

Denny the pegs are just below the firewall insulation and along the kick panels i realy want to put mats back in are the mats from brothers pretty good got a carpet kit for a chevelle once and it came with big wrinkles and glued to a backing so there was no way to get them out so if i spend money for mats im hoping they will look real good i just ordered there catalog

Can't help ya I never bought anything from Brothers.

My '48 has them also, and two more by the ends of the seat frame.

My 49 too!

Well now isn't that just amazing! After two years of crawling around me old 1950 truck cleaning, re-upholstering, cleaning the floors, repainting seat skirts, re-fitting a new rubber mat, replacing all of the grommets and pedal felt, re-storing the parking brake boot and cover and a hundred other things that I did under the dash and all this time I never noticed the pegs!!!!! Heck, I must have spent literally months inside the cab.
Yep your all correct, on the toe board there are three on the passenger side, two on the driver side but Tom, I find no evidence of there ever being any anywhere near the seat frame.
Boy, this is just a constant leaning experience, seems like every day I discover something new about these trucks. I wonder if it’s possible to know all there is about them, I mean just the AD’s alone.

Two by the seat frame on my 49 as well.

My '54 has them, or had them. I think only one is left, on the passenger side toe board.

And my 49 has them by the seat frame also.

My '58 even has 'em.
