Kick panel support

Post by dlevy »

Hi,

Can someone please tell me the orientation/ location of the clip that goes on the floor to hold the bottom edge of the kick panels in place.

I am told I should have them, so I bought a repro set.

I think I have it in generally the right place and orientation.

Would someone kindly confirm or redirect me?

Am I also correct assume that it should have been riveted in and body color?

Thanks
Dave

Thanks Bob,

So the rubber mat looks like it tucks under the edge of the clip. Is that correct?

Do you know if the clip is riveted to the body or screwed in place?

Thanks,
Dave

I took some more pictures of three different cabs and I notice some parts are wider than others, in fact one cab has
a wide one on one side and a narrow one on the other.

Bob, Spot welded in place, correct?? Original is not the same design are reproduction. But, once the panel is installed, the look is the same.
