Wood floor

Is there any market for the original wood floors in our burbs.
I am going a different route with my floor and i don't want to just cut it out if someone could use it.

Re: Wood floor

don't throw out an original floor if it is in good shape. that old marine plywood is good stuff if and perfect for someone doing a frame-off and needing a replacement for a floor that has been hacked up over the years.

as for aftermarket replacement, should be able to adapt a kit for a pickup. burb cargo floor behind the second row is about the same as a short bed pickup. i like the look of polished oak (or whatever else looks nice) with stainless strips. would look awesome in a burb, even with a third row seat installed. but i think the effect is perfect in a panel truck (longer cargo floor) and would make a nice clean platform for a mattress when you go RVing!

Re: Wood floor

thanks,
I am going to do a dark cherry floor with the smooth boltless aluminum strims from Mar-k.

What is an original wood floor in perstine condition worth.

Re: Wood floor

whatever you want to ask for it i guess....but that doesn't guarantee a sale!

there isn't a huge demand for them, but they are a good piece to save for a rainy day as most burb parts are harder to come by naturally.

Re: Wood floor

I'd keep it around to make a good template out of it.
Having good documentation on dimensions, and placement of all the bolt holes will be invaluable for the next burb owner that is without a floor to copy.

Heck, if you were close - I'd be interested in it just for the value of copying it.
