Underneath David
Floor plates go underneath in my truck David. and yes the engine covers are a pain the back side, but you'll learn to love 'em.
Absolutely stoked to see it going - a real credit to you. I'll have first dibs on that 34 Ford as well... Well done - please keep posting with pictures - I have really enjoyed this thread of yours..

Good Job!
Hello David,
My internet connection has been really bad for a few days, and I have been trying to get a look and listen to your video. Just got to do that, and my  to you! Looks and sounds really good. Well done. I agree with others, your truck has an excellent exhaust note now. I know it's impractical to leave as is, and thats the pity! To a blind man, that could be a Mack Truck  ........or a D9 Dozer.  Proper job, my friend. Enjoy driving it.

appreciate the help and kind words...
Ganmain Tony: Thanks for the info on the floor plates! I know what you mean about learning to love the engine covers. Good thing it's still winter here..... Have ordered a roll of double foil backed heat insulation to line the engine covers. Says it reflects 98% of heat up to 1400-degrees F....that sounds to me about right for normal driving conditions in a cab 11/12.
 Tony Baker: Thanks! I like the exhaust note of 'no muffler' also as it drowns out the sound of my noisy solid-lifter valve train. Turns out the used motor I bought for the truck wasn't oiling up top properly, and had some significant wear. Will re-adjust valves again before engine covers go on..... Today I found a long-forgotten photo of the truck the day it was pulled it from the barn in Montana. Thanks , David

Floor plates....
All the floor plates I have seen ( over seven 11s and 12s ) the floor plates are the foundation for everything else...... they go on first and all other panels fits on top of them.
Can you tell us more about the insulation you will be using...... make, source, cost, installation method, and pictures of course. Bob C

insulation..
Hi Bob,
Ordered it from Jeg's racing. It was about $64 U.S. delivered in a 48''x72'' piece. I figured that would be enough for a cab11 engine cover. Will report again when arrives and is installed... Thanks, David
