In the making of a new floor....:)

[chevythechief]

I ve recently taking up the rustrepair on my 55 truck. My plan is to make a completely new floor with a underlying frame of rectangular tubing.

I ve seen a project here on the forum of a fellow chevyhead that was in the making of a completely new floor. But now I cant find the thread...

It was a series 1 3100 stepside, does anyone here maybe have a lead of which thread I am thinking of. He made a new frame and sheetmetal on top of that, beadrolled and had very good skills i metal fabricating?

Please help me! Any other tips and trix would be more than appreciated, pics pics pics.

Thanks in advance everyone!!

chevythechief, Thank you very much. Yes, self taught, no trade school. Just good old fashion trial and error. If you need any help or more pictures just let me know. I am more than happy to help.
