    I have a 32 5w that appears to be mostly original. Does this floor look to be correct for a 32 5w?
    Thanks tempImageCGEtNV.png

    Im not really familiar with 3W floors but it looks like a sedan floor to me.

    Could this have been an assembly line mess up? Was told it could also be a rumble seat floor

    Henry Ford didn't use booger welds on the sides to hold the floor pan in. He used rivets. Take a closer look at your sedan floor.

    Im standing right in front of the floor not sure where you see booger welds. They're tacks from a stick welder common practice for welding in the era the car was built from. Not too concerned about a sedan floor seems like you're making it sound like a sedan floor is a bad thing. A few hours in the shop will take care of the sedan floor to a 5w floor.

    My Original 2 -D sedan floor pan does not look like the one shown , nor a typical 32, R ,5 or 3.
    Ford made,I think / Recall there where over 50 different models in 32.

    I was just saying that Ford didn’t weld like that for their install. Sure you can prefer the sedan floor, but that’s not what you originally asked about.

  11. That is what @alchemy is referring to. As he stated Henry Ford riveted them.

    That is a Victoria floor for sure! The sunken footwells theoretically make up for the shortened back seat area.

    Sorry, you're absolutely right, HOTRODPRIMER, It looked at first like those footwells were in front of the seat riser, which they are in a vicky - - - but they're not. They're right where they belong on a tudor - -- thanks for the catch.

    ^^^^^
    my 32 sedan is a early body,
    Under rear seat does not look that pronounced/ deep pockets ,
    Possible a change threw the year,?
    (Sedan rear pan)
    OP pic is not a 5 w pan that I have seen or a Roaster .
    Talking about Welds , if you have a body that has not been ground down
    on inside, The Ford weld is unique ,
    It looks that a 1/16 flat edge filler on inside where body panel meet ,

    Here is an original 5 window floor. Has some damage in trunk area but has not been touched. Quarter diagonal brace is not attached at top. You can see the rivets mentioned above.
    BTW - I worked over 40 years for an automotive assembly division. We were not beyond substituting one part for another that was out of stock. Especially at the end of the model year.
