I have to change floor panel at rear between cab corner panel and seat belt hole on both side. Where it's possible to found this part(classic parts, lmc, etc...) and what is the part number. I join picture to complete my question. Thank's

The vendors have the outer-rear floor section available, but it's only about 7"??? wide and runs from the front seat mount bolt area to the back of the cab. Most of the vendors on the board have them (GMC Paul's). Stay away from LMC. The repair panel stampings I bought from them were very poor. I had to pay shipping to send it back to them and get rid of their crap.

Hang in bro. Mine is worse. We will find best place for quality soon.

Best bet (if you need this done sooner than later) is to find a donor cab and cut these pieces out and then weld them into your cab...

no repop parts yet for that spot (or you could just replace the entire floor - they remade those, but that may be a lot more work depending on your situation).

Good Luck.

Hey Syncrov69....where is Laval Qc??

Please don't be offended, but I couldn't help but picture Borat's voice while reading your post.
"eeeh-High Five"

I agree with the "Find a donor truck" idea so you can get a section large enough. Plus you won't have a patchwork of welded seams.

ha!ha!ha! Laval is in Québec Province in Canada. Normally I speak French but I make my possible to write to you in english! Sorry for my bad english!!! I think that your not better if you try to write in French. It's not easy for me to practice when every people around speak french and this forum is a good practice for me.

I needed these on both sides of my cab. I found it easiest to make templates out of thin cardboard and make my own out of some sheetmetal. Turned out good and I'm not that experienced.

oh yeah, and redrilled for the seat belts and used a heavy, fat washer

Thank's GMC3 I keep your idea and use 18ga sheet metal to make one. Do you thread size for seat belt bolt near you?
