Can someone tell me where to buy 38 floor boards for the pickups..I've seen several builds with new ones...I just picked up a cab..thanks
I second NCT. Bought some patch panels for my '35 and they fit great with minimal work. Great service as well.
Not sure if NTC has the toe boards though. They are metal and show up on eBay every so often. 38-39 have to be the same or darn close anyhow. The floor board is wood. Not sure if it was original or not but the one in my truck when I bought it was 1x6 boards. I bought a sheet of marine ply and cut my own then fabbed a transmission cover to fit. Northern Classic Truck are great people to work with.
I just checked Northern Classsics..only floor member listed is the tranny cover..will the 40 floor parts work..????....I know some of the other parts from a 40 will work on the 38's..
16oz my recollection is that the cabs from 35-41 are very similar dimensionally. Do you have access to metal working tools like a brake, shears and bead rollers? The toe board is basically flat with flanges on the edges and beads to stiffen it. If you are trying for a restoration then I'd try to get one at the swap meets or eBay. I was tempted to make one out of diamond plate for my truck but stayed with the old board instead.
This is what I'm looking for..Fuxl posted this in his build of his 38 Ford..wondering where he bought these pieces..????
At least the middle one is home built. They all look home built and pretty well too. They'll probably get carpet anyhow eventually.
