floor pan question

[60ratrod]

so before i scab in my replacement driver's floor pan, do i need the plate that was between the floor pan and cab support or would it be ok to go with out it? i mangled it when trying to remove the mount bolt, and it was rather rotted.

I assume you are talking about the front fender cup? If so then yes I'm pretty they need to be in place. I couldn't find an aftermarket replacement so I reused mine after cleaning it up. I would think you have to have that cup as support when you tighten down the bottom fender bolt.

I believe BCUTT is talking about this part which is readily available where ever they sell patch panels. It is the lower pillar.

The only other panel with a hole is where the cab mounting bolt goes through and the cab support runs under it. That is something that I have not seen sold anywhere, hopefully someone can let us know if there is a source for these. I would recommend trying to fab a new one as it is hidden and not very complex so it won't have to be perfect. All parts in the floor area were put there to help give the floor strength and there are a lot of spot welds between the floor and this panel to stiffen the floor.

By the way the videos from the second link are worth getting as they are very comprehensive and will help save time and headaches if you are doing one of these for the first time

are you talking about the long floor brace that runs parallel to the frame? if so those are reproduced. $60.00 each

I think he is talking about the lower fender cup that bolts behind the front lower pillar and is sandwiched between the front cab support and the lower pillar. Mine was rusted pretty bad so I sandblasted them and gave them a coat of paint because I couldn't find any replacements available.

that cup where the lower fender bolt is integral with the pillar. the earlier years were bolted on.

I still have the lower part of the pillar. I cut it off since it was rotted half way through and will weld it back on. The piece i am talking about is sandwiched between the floor pan and the floor brace and cab support. Looks like i'm stuck fabbing one. How do i make the divit that the bolt goes through?
