Ford used No. 12-24 x 1-1/4" flathead screws for Floorboard No. 1 (the slanted metal part). These screws go into "D" nuts inserted into the metal lip around the edge. There are three on each side and two (?) across the front edge.
Your metal floorboard should also have a couple of "D" nuts on the rear lip which are used to attach the front edge of the horizontal wood floorboard (No. 2). There are 10 flathead screws that hold floorboard No. 2 in place and they each have cup washers.
