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.

Re: Floorboards
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!
