was there a sort of padding screwed in the lit ?
the floor plates where sandblasted and painted to, what a differents.
this is very rewording work when you see everything come together like new.

Jaap..
You are doing really nice work...The "Checker plate" floor is the "Dot and dash" pattern..very rare and used in the early trucks..Every square inch of that should be saved//..to patch holes and what not,,
Throw nothing away...nice work.
