I have found out there are alot of vendors selling floor pans for 51s, but I was just wondering if anyone was better than the other or easier to use. They may all come from the same supplier i don't know, thought someone would have some idea or opinion on which work the best. thanks

 

I'm pretty sure they all come from the same supplier. I believe the supplier is EMS, but someone might be able to confirm or deny that for you.

 

I think there are at least two manufactures of floor panels, maybe three. EMS is the only place I have seen a one piece panel.



All of the other panels are made in halves. Northern Classic Trucks sells the half panels, I assume they make their own. They also sell the pieces for for the front corners of the floor. I haven't seen anyone else make them.



Unfortunately, no one that I know of makes the toe board, the piece that goes from the above patches forward. I don't know why, if the floor board is rotted out most likely the toe board is also going to be rotted also.

 

not to hijack the thread or anything, but i was wondering if the floor pans on an F1 were the same as the F2. My floor is not lookin so good on the drivers side, and i really don't want to have to try to make them myself.

thank you in advance

 

The cabs are all the same, F-1 through F-8, so yes, the floors are the same.

I have a page listed all of the interchangeable parts:

thank you. That link will definitely come in handy.

 

Bob, the second pic shows all those pieces together. Is that the way it comes or has someone mocked it up to show it all together. I have seen in the catalogs where you can order it seperate but I didn't know if it came together like that or it would even be useful. I am gonna post some pics to see what you think, but I only have a few small holes in the floor, but that little piece at the bottom below where the doors bolt up is rusty looking and feels week. I will get some pics of it soon to see what the thoughts are on replacing it. thanks

 

I pretty sure they come as individual pieces, the best thing to do is call and ask them.

 

my floor came from EMS. It came as one peice but I cut it in half for easyer install. If I was to do it again i would try to do it and leave it one piece. Fits good. Pic of installed floor in my gallery.

 

OOps pic not there . Will try to get it in there in the next few days.

 

You might try Direct Sheetmetal or Bitchin Products. I think they both make floor pieces for Ford trucks. Do a google on them.
