    I am not sure if this is the right place for this.
    I have seen the new replacement floor and it looks cool and a good price. However, I am not doing a restoration and was curious if a new floor using the Bitchin' parts has been considered? I like the idea of a complete floor replacement but would like to have the flat floor. Just a thought.

    Well...

    If you like flat floors, you're in luck! IIRC, that's all these old trucks had (originally).:confused:

    IIRC there is a well below the seat that makes mounting another seat a challenge.

    You are correct!

    That part of the floor is NOT flat! It's the part that has the beer drain hole!:p

    If you are putting in bucket seats, I know I have seen that a lot of people weld metal over the top of what is under the original seat.

    Bitchin makes great products, uses thick sheetmetal, and seems to fit pretty well. I have also used DS sheetmetal for their smooth firewall, which is also very nice.
