Sherman Floorboard

Sherman Floorboard Parts for Rust Repair and Restoration

Floorboards take more abuse than almost any other part of a vehicle's body. Road salt, trapped moisture, leaking window seals, and years of mud and snow work on the sheet metal beneath the carpet, and on older cars and trucks the result is often pinholes, soft spots, or complete rot-through. Sherman's floorboard offering is aimed squarely at this problem, providing stamped steel floor pans and patch sections that let owners restore a solid foundation to the cabin rather than improvising a repair.

Floor Pans Built for a Direct Fit

Sherman, a Michigan-based reproduction and collision parts company founded in 1981, supplies floor pan sections made to replicate the original factory panels. The goal is a direct-fit part that installs the way the factory piece did, without extensive reshaping or modification. Sherman's reproduction floor pan line covers a wide range of classic applications, particularly General Motors models and select Ford trucks, including:

• Camaro and Firebird floor pans spanning multiple generations, from the late 1960s through the early 1990s
• Nova and other GM A-body and X-body applications, with front, rear, and full-length sections
• GM C/K series cab floors from the 1970s and 1980s
• Ford F-Series and Bronco front cab floor panels from the 1980s and 1990s

Many of these applications are offered in several formats, so you can choose the repair that matches the damage. Left and right front sections, rear sections, toe board pieces, and full-length pans are all part of the range, and some are supplied with an EDP (electro-deposition) coating for added corrosion protection, while others ship as bare steel with a rust-inhibiting finish for the installer to prime and paint.

Choosing Between Patch Sections and Full Pans

One practical advantage of Sherman's catalog is the ability to repair only what is damaged. If rust is confined to the front footwell, a half or partial section can save considerable cutting, welding, and fitting time compared with replacing an entire floor. When corrosion has spread under the seat mounts or along the rails, a full-length pan makes more sense and helps ensure consistent metal and contours throughout the cab. Before ordering, it is worth confirming the body style, model year range, and which side (driver or passenger) needs attention, since many pans are side-specific.

Part of a Broader Body Panel Catalog

Floor pans are one piece of Sherman's wider body parts range, which also includes fenders, quarter panels, rocker panels, wheelhouses, and structural supports. That makes it convenient to address related rust areas in the same project.

Installation Considerations

Floor replacement is a welding job, so proper preparation matters. Cut back to clean, solid metal, treat bare edges against corrosion, and seal seams after installation. Test-fitting the panel before final welding helps confirm alignment with the seat mounts, rocker, and tunnel. With good prep, a Sherman floor pan gives a restored cab a sturdy, factory-style foundation for years of additional service.
