Full front floor with Trans hump

Have anyone here seen this or have used it? I'm guessing MDJuan maks it. I have seen it for sale on a few sites. Thinking of using it as my floor is about 60% gone and my hump has been hacked up bad

Hipp,
I have one sitting here.  I haven't used it in a Willys yet.  If your question is about fit, I can't help.   If it's about value and quality, I can give you an assessment. 

It comes with the floor support hat channels and triangular support gussets, though they seem to be a bet 'under gauged' to me.

I would not go that route.  I’d look into separate pieces that you can  fit into place and weld. 

If it’s any thing like the repo tub it will be a lot easer to do it that way. You won’t have to cut it apart first to make it fit.

Another point, try and save your original sheet metal that has the pedal holes, accelerator linkage hole , etc


Best of luck
Steve

I'm really looking in to it for the Trans hump, I have not seen just it for sale. Most of the front half has been replaced and cut up badly.
This is what I'm working with

I've been thinking about using the replacement floor too. I assume that there will be some modification as well. The transmission hump on mine has also been hacked and welded. If it was solid I'd leave it in place as others suggest and build out from there. But this is not the case.

Went out and cut out what the PO used as a cover.



This is what is left


This is what I pulled out, look to be a premade piece.

Hippy,

I often refer to the transmission hump as the 'Spine' of the Willys tub.  With a good one, you can do what CJPilot suggests.  Without a good hump to start from...you've got trouble.

I haven't seen just the hump for sale.  I had to track down a donor tub with a good hump so I can avoid the repro floor.  The whole tub cost me $200.00  Far less than the repro-floor will cost.  ( I haven't bought it from the guy yet.  We have been negotiating.)
