FuzzFace2 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I know this will be hard for some because of the weather but here goes. I would like to see pictures of the heat shields that protect the bed floor from heat from the exh system. I would like to see all the different bed styles: style side long & short bed and the flare side. My flare side did not have any when I got the truck. My parts truck a style side long bed had them, it is 2 parts a short & a long shield. I was trying to install them on my flare side as it uses the style side long bed floor cut shorter. I think I know how the rear shorter one goes as the holes look to line up but I have to flatten 1 corner to fit part way under the rear tank cross member. But I don't quite see how the longer front one should fit. I know I will need to cut it shorter because I shorten the floor but I forgot how it was installed on the uncut long bed floor. Thanks for any help you can give. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve83 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 This is the only pic I have of a '95 F150 2WD SWB styleside, but I don't remember if it was 2 pieces or 1: https://supermotors.net/getfile/853042/thumbnail/51cabwall.jpg This is a '93 Bronco, which is the same as all '80-96 (& probably '78-79): https://supermotors.net/getfile/1056788/thumbnail/06white5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Dave, Here are what the factory heat shields looked like on my 1984 Flareside. They're simply screwed to the plywood with Phillips head wood screws. If you need measurements, just let me know. I have since removed the shields, but the bed is still standing up so I have easy access to the bottom of it if you need any dimensions/measurements. Cheers.

The picture does help as it shows me how the front of the shield was screwed to the cross member. I was thinking it went over the CM and screwed to the front side not the back side. I also don't have that first cross member with the holes, it got cut off to shorten the floor but I can and will drill new holes as needed. That Bronco one I cant see fitting a PU but thanks for posting so I can see how it was done. Thanks Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory, I did a longer post over on the other forum. [delete]Still have that style side to get a picture or 2 from? Remember I am using the long bed style side floor and trying to see if I can use the shields from it if I can remember how they went.[/delete] I thank you for posting the pictures as we get to see how they were done on a flare side, mine were long gone when I got my truck.

Brad, you are the man It has been a few years since I pulled them from the parts truck. Then making the long bed a short bed and moving that 2nd cross member back some. It also shows how that 2nd CM had a screw thru it. Now if we had a picture of a short bed shields we would have all of them in one place for easy look up. Thank you for the picture Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
