Lots of pictures and description of how the floor fitting goes please, that's exactly what I plan to do to my pickup in a few months time so I'll be watching with interest!

Great - my floors a patchwork quilt of bodgery and oversills and I was looking at these floor assemblies in the m machine catalogue thinking they would be the way to go.
Did you have much trouble getting the old heel board out from under the end of the load bay ?

It was fairly easy, the worst part was finding all the spot welds in the load bed but the spot weld drill bit i used was a god send.
The load bed is being replace but i have been as careful as possible so that i can use it for future projects.

Another update on the van, got home on Wednesday so have stripped the remaining panels that require replacement -
Replaced rear arches, corners and lower valances
Fitted the floors and wheel wells which took a bit of time to get spot on but really happy with the quality of M-Machine work
Alot more to get on with, hoping to have toe board fitted and all major welding complete

Great work there. How was the fit of the m machine floor assembly? Any problems?

I would recommend the floor assembly and also load bed assembly to anyone, I did not need to do any modifications to either part and the workmanship they put into thier products is excellent.
