Can anyone tell me if 27/28 1-ton trucks had the metal battery access plate in the floor boards or did one just remove a whole board to get at the battery?

I'm in the process of making my new floor boards for my restoration and had no remnants of the old ones to be able to tell.

Thanks!

Both of my trucks ('28 half ton and '27 one ton) do not have the metal battery access doors.

You lifted the rear floor boards out to access the battery. They are attached to each other by two cross pieces screwed to the bottom. See the attached pics of Justin's floor boards.

I don't remember if Lurch had two or three boards that lifted up. I do remember that Lurch's floor boards were tongue-in-groove, whereas Justin's floor boards are butted together.

Cheers, Dean
