That is a M3 floor in the photo. M3A1 does not use the support that goes forward from the cross member. A1 has a 3 bolt pattern off to the side of center, and also uses a different floor plate.

yah its being converted to an A1,  (its an izzy return) the pedestal mount holes are fresh, I assume from the last owner. so it probably never had a ped either.

Floor plate does not have the circle cut out for the pedestal mount either.

I found another pic of the same track, I recorded the serial number as M33137 but it looks like it never had the extra support under the crossmember.

Support goes forward to the back of the cab from the cross member.
