Rust repair?
I have a 1971 c10 and the common areas are rusty including the floor cab corners and rockers my question is is it easier to buy a whole new floor and put it in or is it better to piece it together with the patches?

Re: Rust repair?
Mine is pieced but the whole pan wasn't rusted just area next to rocker and rear cab corner. I would do the whole pan at once if its rusted.

Re: Rust repair?
Your pretty labor intensive on just doing the rockers[inner and outer] floor piece attached with the inner rocker kick panel and a and b pillars then the cab corners. Those are the pieces that are in the "kit"[ minus the foot well, but I have talked to them about that] Because if your doing the kit the footwells have to be done as well[and need to be]. The kit will fix 5 of my 6 truck I know [one I haven't looked at] but to do a floor complete it is super intensive, maybe up to three times more labor to do.Now I will admit the first side on this customers truck It took me a while to do, but the pass side was in half the time. I figure after I do a couple of mine I will have it cut down to the least amount of labor I can to do a rocker job

Re: Rust repair?
I have been doing A LOT of rust removal lately and if you think there is just a little.... there is more... much more.
Look at all the areas that you see that you have rust... then add a couple more inches to that and you might get it all. IMHO... the kit is a good way to go. You might not use everything, but it is there if you need it.

Re: Rust repair?
If you don't mind me asking how much does the kit cost and where did you get it from?
