Re: SWB Fleet Floor and a 1PC Cab floor for 67-72!!!!

I think if you have significant rust beyond what the floor patches cover then maybe the entire floor would be the way to go, but every typical rusty repairable cab I've seen and repaired, maybe 85% was cover by the floor sections (patch panels). The rest had areas where small sections had to be hand made to repair areas that the patches didn't cover. I think it would be more work to replace the whole floor than the patches especially since the whole floor doesn't have the braces. I really don't think it will be a very big seller for them but I could be wrong. I prefer not to brace the cab because I like to move the cab around so that the door opening can be manipulated to fit the doors I'm using. Its just harder to work when there is bracing in the way. About the only thing that will move is the "B" pillar area and you may want them to move to get good door gaps while fitting the cab corners and outer rockers.

Anyway, thats my story an I'm stickin to it.

bkwagon, let me know if you need any help once you get started
