Not to over complicate your life but...


Early 1938 Pickups used a floor system the same as (or similar to) 1935-37 Pickups. Late 1939 Pickups used the same floor system as 1940-41 Pickups. I do not know when the change occurred or if it was gradual ("use existing stock first" rule). Of course the Trucks had an additional difference to accommodate the fuel tank under the seat. Also, sometime in the late 1938 - early 1939 time frame Ford changed the frame width and possibly cab mount locations to an SAE standard.


My point in mentioning is if you do find a pattern for wood it could be both correct for the cab it came from but different from what you need... be cautious.
