Jocko_51_B3B Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 I have a 1951 B-3-B which I purchased in Arizona. The body is almost rust free except for the passenger side floor which has some large holes in it. Also, the sheet metal pieces that fit behind the pedals going all the way across to the passenger side are missing. (These areas were all covered in plywood when I bought the truck). The piece that covers the transmission is missing too. Are these floor sections available anywhere or do plans exist for having them fabricated to original specs? Anyone know? Thanks in Advance for any advice about this. 1 Quote

HanksB3B Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Welcome Glen77 Brother/Sister of my B3B, I can promise you one thing, your truck wasn't always in Arizona (more like Minnesnowta). During the early 80's when I was restoring mine and Junk Yards were Junk Yards, finding a truck with Arizona plates was the best. Nuts could actually turn without weeks of soaking with Liquid Wrench before actually being able to remove your part. Trucks from Arizona were rust free! I found my DODGE script hood plates and much more. I did miss the floor plates but imagine they were perfect. Wonder where the dyes are ? Good Luck with yours, Hank Edited November 25, 2014 by HanksB3B Quote
Bobacuda Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Dodge Central http://dodgecentralmi.biz/ocart/Body-Panels has the floor boards and the center piece. They do not show the missing upper panels. Quote
wildwilf Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 the toe boards can be found here http://www.c2cfabrication.com/store/1948-53-dodge-pickup-font-toe-board/ 2 Quote
Dave72dt Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Has anyone here used those toe boards and can confirm how well they fit? Quote
Jocko_51_B3B Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Here are a few exterior photos. Thanks to everyone for the leads on the floor pans and toe board. I ordered some of the parts this afternoon. My intention is to restore the truck to original condition as much as possible. As you can see from the photos, there are some parts that are not original. I've already removed a few of them. Edited November 26, 2014 by glenn777 1 Quote
austinsailor Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 the toe boards can be found here http://www.c2cfabrication.com/store/1948-53-dodge-pickup-font-toe-board/ They have the floorboard parts I need for my 53 Belvedere. If they are any good, this is a great deal to me. Has anyone used them? Any feedback? gENE Quote
