They are different because of the wheelbase, and thus crossmember spacings. Hardware is all the same except for the strip length and punching distances i think.

were trying to fix a second hand restoration. so we will have to pull up the floor to paint it anyway. not a priority right now. just doing the research.

thanks for the leads.

yah got our floor out and painted, and everything but the body hold down bolts are blind nuted, so countersunk straight sloted. I think its a fatter head, different bevel, than what you can get modern wise.

does anyone have the dimensions of the angle iron, 1-inch ?

thanks

Old thread, but for the archives I will weigh in. My WC 53 had the original floor. The boards were made from strips glued together. The sides of the boards had a shallow tongue and groove. The tongue being about 1/8 tall & deep. There was a machined recess in the wood of about 1/16 or so, for the metal strips. This recess was shallow enough that the metal strips did protrude above the wood. I saved some small pieces for reference re: thickness and how the keyhole seat plates were installed.

do you have a picture of the screw? give me the measurements if it and the degrees of the bevel and I might be able to find it

Ok, I went thru my parts pile today and took some measurements and pics of things I could not find in a search.

The wood floor boards were 3/4 inch thick, the tongue and groove was only 1/8.

The key slots (what I call them) for the removable seats and table were held in with 1/4x 20 screws. The screws were flat/slot head, countersunk type.

The angle strip along the front of the floor was 54-1/2 long across the front, with 3-7/8 ends. The strip had countersunk holes for the screws. The vertical face of the strip was 3/4 and the horizontal part with the countersunk holes was 1-1/4 wide. I didn’t measure, but the strip is thin, probably 18 gauge...

The gas tank dimensions (not including the flange where the halves were joined) are 35-1/2 long, 22-1/4 wide, & 9 inches deep.

I have posted pics on image event. Here is the link: https://imageevent.com/adamell/wc53carr ... 4&w=0&p=11
