37Blue,
The pan in your photo looks to be the same (or close) to the one I have except that the one I have has a noticeable bump manufactured into it (I assume for clearance over the transmission) and the location of the strengthening ribs. (It doesn't look as rough in real life as it does in the attached photo.)
Does the fiberglass pan seem strong enough to serve as an acceptable replacement? My goal with this truck is to create a basic driver.
It would be best to find someone who needs an original pan for a truck this fits in rather than for me to consider trying to modify this one to work in my truck.
Is there a best place on the forum to post photos of unidentified items to get a determination of what they are?
Thanks!
Nick
The pan in my photo is a reproduction piece too. I had the original pan, but it was too far gone with rust and hole to be usable. That one also had the domed hump. My guess is your floor pan might be for a ‘41-‘46 model? I can’t see the measurements in your first photo very well. But, they look to be about 19 3/4” by 34 3/4”? That would be very close to those matching the ‘41-‘46 models; and measure 19 3/4” by 34 7/8”.
The fiber glass pan on my ‘37 has held up fine, at least for my needs. It’s at least 20 years old. I don’t know the vendor source. It measures 16 3/4” by 34 7/8”.
Jim Carter Truck Parts may still sell these sheet metal replacement floor pans. They are listed in their 2023 catalog. They show pans for ‘39-‘40 models.
As for a place to best ask about parts questions, I suggest posting those in this forum or the Truck section.
