New floor pan in and I have some questions

[May70]

So hopefully some folks who have done some of these can weigh in.

I was really careful bracing up my cab good before starting anything, so I dont think anything moved. I did replace the front pillars but took templates of the angles, measurements etc and they are pretty dang close if not dead on.

My height measurements are good, the old measurements between the original floor and the braces are right.

The rear holes where the front pillar is supposed to bolt into the floor do not seem like they are forward far enough. The holes are almost showing past the pillar. Where the front floor lip meets the flange on the firewall lip, the inner lip (closest to the hump) is very tight, but the outer lip has about a 1/4 inch gap.

If I could suck that gap in, I think the holes would be in a much better position. I am wondering if I should pie cut the floor where the inner lip is tight, to allow the outer edges to suck up more towards the firewall. I dont want to mess up any alignment though so im not sure what to do. I tried using clamps to pull the floor forward without much success. The back pillar hole im not too worried about because I bent that around alot removing rockers and floor (thin and weak metal). I have to replace those anyway.

Im not sure if the repro pillars and floor just arent lining up because of differences in stamping or what.

My current plan if nothing else comes up is to put my doors on and mock up my cab corners, then rockers to make sure it will work.
