Another question. Post #85 in pictures 5 and 6 there is a post just to the right of your accelerator pedal, mounted to the floor. What is that?

The subframe side rails are riveted to the bedsides. I haven't changed them yet that's why I have just the subframe on the back. The 'post' is the foot rest, so when you have your foot on the gas pedal your foot doesn't have to try and maintain a steady pressure(you put foot on pedal and rest at the same time)
