I'm putting together a '33 Ford 1/2 ton cab and was wondering if anyone can tell me what the original floor components should be?
Metal, or wood? Combination of both? Is there a cover for the transmission?
All I have to work with is the sub-frame itself. Joe
 
Wooden floor board, metal toeboard, and metal pedal, transmission and battery covers. The toeboards are easy to find used, but it seems like there are some differences between 4cyl and 8cyl and Commercial and Truck. They have often been butchered around the pedal openings due to the way the pedal bushings wear and allow the pedal arms to "drift" to the left and rub on the metal, which makes a TERRIBLE sound that you cannot stand to listen to.
The same is true of the pedal cover that the seal goes under. Someone made
some seals years ago, but not lately that I know of, but not the cover. The
transmission covers are scarce and those for Big Trucks have a different opening due to the 4spd transmission. The transmission tower seal for passenger cars should work IF you can find the correct metal cover.

Thanks for the response Richard..........guess it's a little more complicated than I thought. Looks like fabricating something might be my best option.

my toe board is metal and has to be modified for the new pedals i installed and bigger newer flathead with 5speed adapter.
the floor is all wood and was completly flat with the stock V8 and three speed, i now have a 49-53 flatie with 5 speed, so the floor has a large cut out for the ****** and shifter now.
i am going to redo the floor but keep it wood as i like the ease of taking out the floor, instead of having a metal floor all welded in.
