Who'd be interested

[Ford Truck Nut]

The boards i am makeing will be made for the left hand emergency brake. Then if you want the Ebrake location somewhere else you can cut that part out.
They should be around $75 for a pair and the underside irons

I'm still interested, in that price neighborhood (plus shipping) so please keep me on the list.

Make a set before you set a price. One cannot just purchase wood of the shelf at the local lumber store and have it be the right thickness. To do it to the proper dimension you will most likely need to purchase rough cut maple and plane it down to the proper thickness. Making the sliding dove tails can be quite a challenge. The metal brackets will need counter sunk holes so the wood screws fit flush. The floor boards are all a different witdh and you have to plan ahead so none of the screws on the metal brackets go into one of the sliding dove tails. Not trying to throw cold water on your project but to do these right it will take a considerable amount of time. $75.00 seems a very, very low price to make a correct set of these.

I have a fellow right down the road who has his own mill. I took him the a tree and had it sawed to what now is my truck bed. finding maple and having it made should be no problem. I have a plainer at school and we are riging up a jig to do the dovetail. I know what i could probably make off of these but i just want to make them available for people like me who like to keep their stuff Original

Glad to hear you have your ducks in a row.

Dave, your floorboards were a work of art...

I would buy 2 sets of the maple floorboards. As you said, the center emergency brake hole can be cut out if needed. Just don't drill the dual high holes unless requested. Please be sure the maple is fully dry before milling it. Notice in the information on Henry's wood parts factory in Kingsford MI he had a large kiln drying operation for the wood.

Would you be willing to go cheaper if we don't need the metal strips? I have all mine...
