afx Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Are your talking about the bead rolls pressed into the floor pan to add rigidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 They were done to stiffen the floor boards. Like any large flat metal surface without the ribs the metal will flex and even make a booming sound under certain conditions. The ribs actually add strength to the floor boards.

1930fordpickup Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Stifling ribs is what I have been told for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reegs Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks, gents. Stifling or stiffening or reinforcement ribs. I was probably trying to remember "stiffening ribs". Edited March 22, 2018 by Reegs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
