What’s everyone’s take on custom beaded/pressed floor pans regarding resale value? Was thinking of making some cool custom floor pans for the front and rear of my 40 since I’m building my tub (firewall back). Probably won’t sell it but if I needed to I don’t want to do anything that would hurt...

So if I’m wanting to put a h55 in then going with a 79+ floor pan would help?

Has anyone used a 79 and newer floor pan in their older tub so the gas tank can go under the floor? Not concerned with the tank in the cab but to me it’s a cleaner look with it under the tub. Since I need to replace the whole floor pan I’m running through ideas.

That’s correct. I am basically building my own tub from the firewall back. Previous owner bought/sourced new panels but didn’t do it in sections. But also why I got a good deal. Replacement panels were mix and matched from every model year imaginable. But been a fun project as I’ve learn so much...

Huge help. Thank you. That puts it smack in the middle which is where I wanted it but good to know I’ll be same as factory. Thanks everyone for you help. My questions have been answered.

It’s a 77. Didn’t even think about it being exhaust shield mounts. Either way that’s good reason to add those in case I run my exhaust in that area. Wish I could go pure purist on all this but my project came with to many mistakes I think to afford a purist bill. Thanks for sharing.

Basically just want to make sure I get that bed support (marked with red X) in the right spot. So rough estimate. It looks fairly centered but if someone had measurements then I was going to go with that vs an educated guess.

Thanks, I won’t mess with adding them then

So I bought my fj40 in pieces. Working on the rear bed. Does anyone have measurements on the exact location of where the support goes marked with the X? Also what are these mounts for that I have circled? Current floor pan doesn’t have those mounts. Thanks in advance.

A 2H sounds more inline with what I want. Thanks for the input. I’ll start hunting for a 2H while I work on the frame and tacking body back together.

How much are you wanting for your 2H?

Long time guest and finally joined the group. Picked up a 77 Fj40 many months ago that someone wasn’t able to get back together. So much good info on here that’s been extremely helpful so far. The engine was full of water when I bought the project. Still working the breaking it free but in...
