So I measured and measured and measured and I have found the original toe board in my 1929 Sedan is 3/4" thick but the front floor board is 11/16" thick. Both are the original five layer plywood. Any thoughts or input from anyone with original boards? Just to reiterate I have measured both at many locations to confirm my results.

I have found original floor boards have a felt strip nailed to the bottom side where it fits against the sill. I assume that is to keep it from squeaking. Also increases the thickness about 1/16".

That would make sense. Any felt on mine is long gone. Thanks.

Most of mine the felt is gone but a few nails or the holes remained. They are tiny brads so easily overlooked. Did have one that still had most the felt strips attached.
