    Auto Krafters does NOT have these floor boards and from my discussions with them.....they never will.

    I think this is up to date. I downloaded it in the past but just pulled it up today.
    I don't want to spend the coin to buy & ship it, so I'll prob. fab some up. I only have minimal sheet metal skills, a hammer, and a brick or two. P.S. both front flr pans shot and the piece where your feet go, behind the pedals (kicker panels, toe board, i dunno what their called) also gone. *leaky cowl*

    As Craig has stated Autokrafters does not have the pans they advertise,nor will they(unfortunate) yes the portion of the pan behind the peadals is the toe board.Its a b!#.#% to remove,Many spot welds on that portion as it is attached to the torque boxes.The mustang pans are cheaper and readily available.Mine cost 54.00 for both with shipping from NPD(national parts depot) Or you can post in the parts wanted section on the forum and state what you need.Many people on here have parts cars and are willing to cut one up to get you what you need,donor parts are the simplest to install since they came off the same kind of car.Good luck.

    Thanks to you both on this one (Craig and Mavman72). Well, I'm glad they don't make them b/c I don't wanna pay that much. I think I'll post a wanted ad. I def. have enough parts to swap. If that doesn't work I'll go the 'stang route. I have been seeing that replacement path a lot on the forum. I think I have the ability to mod them to work. I'll clear the floor out on the '75 tomorrow when I take the motor/trans out. I think just the passenger side is good...wish me luck!

    Just be sure to repair the leaking cowl or you will be doing it again in 5 years.Good luck.

    Just got back from Craig's with some nice floor pans for my Maverick. I was also treated to a view of his absolutely awesome Grabber, which was worth the trip alone:thumbs2: Truly a car that sets the benchmark for anyone restoring a Maverick. I'm going to paint my car green to match my envy.
