I’m not sure why I can’t leave good enough alone, but with a project like this why not add some more stuff to the list. With the foot box rebuild done I was able to get a feel for just how much foot room was down there. I knew that it was limited but with size 11’s its very limited. I did make the foot well portion of the foot box slightly deeper during the rebuild but noticed that for me the width was not comfortable. After looking things over this is what I did.
This first picture shows the frame area that surrounds the foot well. I have circled the 2” angle iron that is next to the left side of the foot well. This piece I cut off the frame.
I then cut away an inch of the full length of the angle iron to make it a 2 x 1 angle. I added an inch of 1 x 2 tubing to the ends where it attached to the frame and welded it back on. The outer edge is now in the same location but the inside is 1” wider.
I then cut away a section of the floor to prepare for widening the foot well.
