If someone wanted to do this to say a reproduction tub would all you need to do is trace the panels out and cut?  I had an M38 years ago but cant remember is there were flanges along the edges for strength?

I'm using M-38 removable floor panels in my CJ-3B build.

It's easy enough to find these 3 panels used or even NOS. They are the same on an M-38A1 too.

Nice work!� �I need to go back and read the whole thread.

I see that Walcks has a set of floor coverplates for $120.� � Anybody try these?

Yeah Bob, that looks real good on a 3B tub. 
The same removable floor pans were also used on all pre 1972 CJ-5,6.

This build will not be true stock,  but I would like any mods to be mostly stock-looking.  I will be using floor mats  (to hide my welding seams,   ;D)

Some photos and measurments would be great if you get a chance.

Thanks!

If you're going for a true stock 3A you wouldn't want those panels - although I wonder if one of those 1 piece rubber floor mats would mostly conceal the fraud.

If you're leaning more towards functionality, I'd install them in a heartbeat.

I have a bare M38 tub and all the panels in my garage right now. I'd be glad to send/post pics and measurements if it would help.

The floor in my '3A is gone,  literally. . .  right now it is just a rusty metal dome over the tranny/tcase,  the rest of the floor is air.

Since I am building from scratch anyway,  I like the idea of making a larger access hole,  for future maintenance etc.

Any thoughts?

I tried some searching to see what anyone else has has done.  No luck so far.   Also tried to find some good photos of M38 floor.

I would like this to be somewhat stock-looking,  but with the added functionality.
