Does anyone know the correct sheet metal for a 29 toe board. I have two types (one flat, one with a raised stamping)  pictured, the boards both have the half round lower metal piece. 

Thanks

Dave

I've only seen the raised type.  The rubber recessed style cups that go on and move with the brake and clutch pedals would have a hard time sealing out any of the elements on the flat type illustrated.  The flat one doesn't seem original to me but........ at this point, who knows what might have been done sometime in the past.

Dave,

The metal piece around the heel rest for the accelerator is interesting.  I wonder if they used those in earlier years also.  I thought about asking you for dimensions of your flat piece flashing to duplicate one for my 28 truck but I doubt it would be the same.

After looking at the grommets on the Fillilng Station I do agree that the pedal grommets would work better with the raised one rather than the flat.

The bottom piece with the foot rest is shaped different on my 31. I remember something about the 29 bottom piece was half round so maybe the 28 was similar. We will need someone who knows to comment. I don't believe my 24 had the bottom piece but did have flat metal around the pedals.
