1928 shift lever plate

[redmodelt]

The floor board would have just had a hole cut out for the gear shift lever to stick thru. There would have been just a plate to cover the access hole to grease the bearing without taking the floor out. The multiple disk clutch was used up to Nov 1928 and would have had a crossover with the pistol grip center parking brake lever.

The picture of the 3 covers on the green background is my picture of my 3 covers.
Another way to tell a multiplate is the 3/4" pedal shaft, while the single plate has a 7/8" shaft.

Here are some original floor boards, just disregard the two small round holes.

Thanks Bob C,
I was googling so many floor boards tonight I think I will dream about them all night long. This looks like the truck floor boards I found in thread "Pictures of my floor boards". The only thing different for my 28 would be the two small holes that I presume is a different config for the truck? hydraulic lifter, starter??

I will use the ideas in the "pics of my floor boards" to make my own. Tom Wessenberg you mentioned you found the correct dovetail router bit for this job?

I need to dust off my router and start clearing the cobwebs from my planer as well!!!

Thanks so much to all, for the input today. This was great fun
Tim
