    Anyone able to snap a shot of their '48 (or 46/47) floor for me? It's a Tudor sedan. i made all new rocker boxes and am getting ready to put the floor in, as some asshat had removed the floor of this one just behind the b-pillar forward and replaced it with another donor floor, but it's cut so that i can't tell where it should meet the existing floor. I also have the front metal floor board and am wondering how that sits in relation to the rest of the floor. Thanks!

    Here is the best I can do. Hope it helps. The front floor is just straight across and the removable front toe board bolts in the about 8 places.

    the removable toe board, does that bolt on top of the floor or under it? i can't tell from the pics, or what's left of my hacked floor. There's also a cross support that runs under the floor, i was curious where that is in relation to say the A pillar or front of the door jamb. i think it's just a few inches back from the a pillar? my rocker boxes were rusted pretty good, and the "new" floor was just booger welded in and i can't tell where that cross piece went. that would tell me where the toe board sat. Thanks for the help so far

    Here are some more photos of the toe board. The Toe board in my car is aluminum but they were made of steel also. During and after the War, aluminum became popular.

    The distance from the front door pillar to the start of the floor is 4 inches. This is a 48 convertible I am doing which is stock and unmolested with no rust, so the floor should be accurate.

    I've got five pics of the floor in my '48...hopefully they can help you out, too.

    Ace, the toe board on mine bolts on top of the floor board metal - it fits right in the groove that surrounds the floor opening and bolts right in.
