Jacek, the arrow is pointing to the bolt that the grab handle attaches to.

Floor plate around 195 mm passenger side.
Hi Jacek
You have the narrow floor plates with the deeper inner fenders. Seems typical of the 2 wheel drive but still can't explain why it is also found on 4 wheel drive cab 12. Certainly makes it harder to drive with big boots. Cheers

One of wooden spacers was charred that was why it was broken. I wonder how it happened, no electric instalation close to it. I made two new ones. Interesting that hole which held bolt attaching rifle holder to the floor was threaded and wasn't secured with the nut.

Wonder if.....
Hi Jacek
Two possibilities on the blackened wood spacer....... You truck did see some action.... are there any discoloration of the metal it was touching..? ....or some years of slow decay of the wood may looked like it burned but only a slow process with the tannic acid of the wood. On your truck, like mine.... a lot of the machined screws that hold the engine cover and rifle holders were actually threaded into the 3/16 ( 6mm) floor plates. Working on these old trucks is a constant learning journey. Cheers

floor oddities
Here are two pictures of a #12 cab Chevrolet that has extra plates added to both sides of the floor. Every indication of wood spacers and paint remnants indicate that it is original. The added plates are on the outsides of the frame and to the rear of the under side of the cab floor plate. They are heavy and measure about 5/8 inch thickness. What could this possibly be for?

Bob and I have speculated that the added plates served to stiffen the floor plate against flex caused by the cab rear panel. I have no proof of this theory.
