50 plus years ago I ran my 26 pickup around Custer SD as a hillbilly rig and dressed the part. Had no hood, no floorboards and no top and minus a few other things. Things havenot changed much with it.
Found my wood plans yesterday that I bought from Mel Miller about 30 years ago at a swap meet and to my surprise the plans for the floorboards are in them. Now I can make a set and get them installed.
To check pedal adjustment it says to have so much clearance above the floorboards. A little hard to measure without a floor.
It will always be a hillbilly rig or skinning rig. I enjoy it more that way and it can people can touch it and I can lean on it. Will have to get some type of top on it sometime as too much sunshine here in Florida.

Dennis, we're headed for our cabin in the Black Hills this afternoon. Custer is a great place. You can make floorboards from a 2 ft by 4 ft 5/8" plywood chunk. I just made some to put a 26 engine in my 23 last week. Bevel the edges at 30 degrees where the 2 pieces meet and they stay down better and are still easy to remove to show folks the under workings. Have fun!
