If they were under the floor mat, how does the floor mat attach to the floor so that it's stable, yet easy enough to remove? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 255 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 255 | Hi ArmyMike - I'm not sure trucks came with floor mats in our truck years (37/38). I used a roll of floor mat material from Jim Carter Trucks and made one to fit my 38. I did cover the access panels, to keep a clean look. The mat does not have to be "fastened down", that will allow you to flip the mat back and get to access panels.

I did as tcox. I used a fiberglass floor board but one tidbit on the battery. I had to make my battery box and in so doing the battery is real close to the floorboard. So, I made sure I used side post battery......just in case you need to know. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 97 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 97 | | | |
