The toeboard and floorboard from the firewall to the gas tank box is two pieces of plywood on my 1/2 ton. I'm thinking this was somebody's hack way of accommodating for the steering column swap, but I know they did use some wood here and there in really early cars and trucks.
And if not, is there a source for steel toeboard and floorboards? Thanks!

You could also have a sheetmetal shop fabricate it for you. That way it can fit custom stuff like transmission humps and bellhousings. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 106 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 106 | Sorry - no wood in floorboards / toeboard.

That's what I thought. I might just get some sheet metal and make new ones.
