dctodd1313 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 does anybody here have good suggestions on fabing up floor braces or where to buy (if they even make em),this is my first build so kinda green.would 1949 braces fit how much did floors and size of chasis change?thanks for any help Quote
Rusty O'Toole Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 1949 was a completely new body, 1948 body dates back to 1941 and possibly 1939. See if you can make mockups of what you want out of construction paper or cardboard. Include all dimensions. A metal shop or fabricating shop can bend them up on their brake. If you can cut out the metal pieces so much the better. I assume you do not have a brake to make the bends. This is if you can't buy the parts you need and have to make them and also assumes the parts are straight bends which they usually are. Quote
smallblockjunkie Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 48 to 50 are the same the 47 are the old body style. Quote
Rusty O'Toole Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 Not sure what you mean by floor braces. Unless you mean body mounts? Or are you thinking of the frame? Quote

I think he is referring to the channel steel ribs that support floor, and attach to rocker panels, there are the supports that also are attached to the floor and body mounts too, Quote
