Default Correct toe board 1936 pickup

Can someone help me determine which is the correct toe board for my 1936 1/2 ton pickup? I have both styles and I am finding conflicting information online.

Thanks

B without question. It's what I have in my 35. I have seen A but not sure what it's for.

Thanks for the replies.

That’s what I was thinking. I believe A is for big trucks but I keep seeing it advertised as 35 and 36 and B for later years. I just wanted to confirm that B is correct.

Now I just need to find the pedal plate for toeboard B. Does anybody have one they’d sell?

Question: On B, where is the hole for the starter switch?
Shouldnt that be between the pedal holes and below the steer shaft hole?

There isn’t one in that generic picture I found online. The attached picture is my toeboard and it does have the hole for the starter switch.

"B" is definitely later than 35 or 36. "B" has a hole for a headlight dimmer but no hole for 35-36 starter button. Also the foot rest hole is missing. See images of 35-36 toe board.

So is my toe board not correct for my ‘36 pickup?

Don, in the drawing of the toe board, why would there be a void or passage hole between the toe board and the trans cover?

Early 35 transmissions had a throwout bearing that was greased from a fitting on the transmission inspection cover. the void in the early toe board and transmission cover allowed access to that fitting. Your toe board doesn't have that void and your transmission cover shouldn't have one either.

The reproductions are based off of a 38-39 Board (they lack the starter switch hole and have a hole for a dimmer switch) Otherwise they fit, as I am using a NOS 38-39 in my 36 and I added the starter switch hole. . There is no pedal plate used on these to my knowledge.

B is correct. I have one in case anyone is looking for one. I also have a pedal plate but it has been butchered a bit. I can't post pictures here.

If I cannot source an original pedal plate, I will create tooling to make one for my pickup, with the option to make more if anyone is in need of one.

Here's an extra I have. This was for I believe '37 and I know for sure '38 and '39 when the e-brake was moved from a transmission mount to under the dash. Besides the cut-out for that cable and the missing quarter pie for the starter button on bottom it has the same dimensions as what you are looking for. One other difference is the v pressed into the plate doesn't extend as high on the right side as a '36 plate. Let me know if you want it for at least a pattern. GaryU.

If you are going to make some toe boards, I need one for my 37 which would be like Gary mentions. I could trade a rear cab corner.

Hope you (37 truck) meant pedal plate as that is what's headed To OldGold360 right now. That trade sounds like a great deal for both, good luck with your projects!

As Gary mentioned, I have no plans to make any toeboards but was considering making some pedal plates for the toeboards. I do have a couple of toe boards I labeled “A” in my first post. They were used on big trucks, but you’re welcome to one of them if you think you can make it work.

Gary really helped me out, sending me the one he had, but if enough people need them I can make some. It would be really easy to make them without the bead detail. I can make them with the bead detail but would just have to make the tooling to either form or stamp it into the panel. I will look at the plate when it arrives from Gary to determine the best course of action.

OK.........it arrived today --- and it is RIGHT ON.
Thanks OldGold360.
Here's picture of it on my restored toe board.
Off to the bodyshop on Wednesday after golf to blast and paint.
Now if Mr 1935-1936 Rogers lets us all know what type of fasteners were used --- it would be more than appreciated.

(Please disregard the toothpicks as there are just there to test fit)

Thank you very much Don.
I was figuring it was a sheet metal screw, and you filled in the blanks.
