Floor pan question
I am stripping the interior of my 56 F100 and when I removed the bench seat there is a metal strip that sticks up about 2 in. from the floor pan. What is this for and it looks like it's welded in place to the floor. The gas tank has been removed and put under the bed, could this be a left over part. I would like to bend it down so I can carpet over it. Any idea's what this was for?

It's actually spot welded to the floor. You should be able to pry it off with a really big screw driver.
I took an angle grinder and cut mine off almost flush with the floor, then used the screw driver to pop off the rest of it. No problems, didn't leave any holes in the floor.......
