    When you buy new floorboard sections, do they come with the body mount brackets?

    Reason i ask, is every place i've checked only shows the tops of the floorboards, not the bottoms and my b-mounts are toast :rofl:

    i am pretty sure that they never incluse the body mount portion.. unless you buy a complete floor pan in 1 piece as i did, in that case they were included.

    you will need to repair yours or replace with new.

    I bought a complete floorboard for my '69, and am in the process of getting it installed. It has all the bracing and reinforcing as the original. I can tell the difference except that it is a little larger than the original in some places. Probably helps making it fit.

    When I put the tub back on, I will have to drill holes to match the three frame mounts.

    1 piece floorpan? All i've been able to find is the 2-piece, 1 for each side.....would you happen to have a link handy?

    Building the mounts myself really won't be that big of a deal, i'm just curious if they are included or not.

    Omix-Ada catalog shows a full front pan for 55 to 75 models, part # 12007.04, pg 63. You can order through 4 WD parts or Krage Jeep(www.jeepdoc.com) and probably other suppliers as well.

    FWIW I just bought a 4 x 8 sheet of 18 ga. and cut and welded it myself. I just made a template of the replacement section out of posterboard and then cut the offending rusty metal out and welded in the new piece. See my "progress pics" post under Introduction section. Best thing....the whole sheet only cost $43 from our local steel company. It's enough metal to do floors and rockers on a jeep, a steel lockbox behind the dash, and still a little left over.
