Here's the question...did these things actually come with wood bed floors? If so, are they just 3/4" plywood? This one has a 318/727/9 1/4, heater, and not much else! Also, where could a guy get the rubber floor mat (no carpet) for this? It may be ugly, but it sure is slow. Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard....

I believe they are power but it's been a while since I've looked under the hood. Last edited by poboyengineering; 12/19/14 06:54 PM.
