Re: beneath the'31 PU floor mat is???
Ford only sealed around the edges of the floor boards and that column & pedal plate had the felt pad. They didn't use a jute mat pad yet like they did in later years. The throttle pedal rod had a grommet that was tacked to the floor boards. The battery inspection cover plate and the transmission cover plate weren't sealed. I guess they figured that the floor mat would seal all that. Some folks use the lever boots and some don't. They do help keep the dust out.
