Does anyone know if someone makes a floor pan patch for a '65 C10 that would replace the area where the floor high beam headlight switch is? I haven't had much luck finding one myself.

Thanks,

Banjoe,

Sure wish it would be that simple. Can't find the toe board anywhere. Wouldn't be a problem except for the foot operated headlight dimmer is indented there from the factory.

Thanks Tracern1, still not it. I am totally convinced that they do not reproduce that section for the '65 trucks. I can find the front floorboard everywhere but not the toe board. It is the piece just ahead of the front toe board where the dimmer is located.

I do have someone sending me an original from a cab.

Is it here? If not then your probably correct and its not made.
Next option is to get the sheet steel and make it your self, or find a good sheet metal body guy to make it.

Looks like the other guy got it with the brothers site. Is this the panel?

Thanks guys. Truck Item 2 and 3 only go up to the seam that begins the toe board. The toe board is above that. I took a couple of pictures of it here: http://s1094.photobucket.com/albums/i442/nesto426/Floorboard/

Thanks again guys.

strange that they don't make the patch panel for that area. looks like it shouldn't be hard to weld back in though once you get the repair panel, good lick.
