'56 access plate

Hello, I have a '56 F100 and am in the process of converting performance standard transmission to automatic transmission. There is a 2 piece removable access panel that goes around where pedals and steering column go thru floor that has been all cut apart and am looking for a replacement panel......any ideas on where to get such a thing? I would post pictures but couldn't figure out how to.
Thank you,
Tom

I think this is what your are looking for:
Search - Mid Fifty F-100 Parts
I'm sure other places would have them as well like macs or dennis carpenter.

They came as 4 pieces from factory. I made a 1 piece out of a heavier gauge sheet metal. Just trace it out on a piece of cardboard and make your own. Good luck.

Thank you for the advise, I ended up removing the dynamat and discovered that yes there are (4) pieces so I ended up fabricating my own single piece out of heavier steel.
