Rear Cab Support

Ladies & Gents:
As always, it’s been a pleasure reading everyone’s posts. So much knowledge.

It has been awhile since I’ve posted but I’ve hit a road block and would appreciate any advice. I’ve completed outer and inner cab corners but I can’t seem to find a replacement piece for the rear section of the cab floor. I’ve attached a picture from the LMC website which shows their complete floor section (wish this was available when I originally bought my panels), but I’ve circled the piece I’m needing. Any suggestions? How necessary is this piece? My project was a basket case when purchased it.

I have 2 off holes on either side which go through the lower flange of that stiffener and floor panel. They attach the bench seat frame. Even if you are using a different seat I would think you'd still need a stiffener there to support the floor panel.

I made that piece in two sections because a faced the same problem on my 56 pickup. Not too long after I completed the work of putting in a complete floor they started selling that piece..

Appreciate the responses. Thanks for the picture John. Very nice work. I wish I had the equipment to whip something like that up.

I talked to LMC today and they said they’ll actually issue a full refund for panels already purchased if it’s within a year. I’m strongly considering going the route of removing the inner corners, returning the individual panel pieces, and going with the full floor piece.

You could do it this way and save yourself the hassle of sending pieces back for exchange. Just a little more time on the welder
