Need help with floor pans and rear floor

[freak812]

OK guys, Im new to redoing stuff..Only thing I have evere done was replace rockers in an 84 chevy truck, so bare with me.

Im putting a new floorpan and rear floor section in my 66, do I have to trim the heck out of these new parts to get them to fit right? I have already replaced the full outer rocker and the inner rocker..What do i need to do next..I have a good chunk of the floor cut out already...What do i do now???

Dry fit the pans first, see if they need trimming, if they do, then do so until you get a good dry fit. I generally will use rivets to hold while welding in. I assume you will be welding them in? For the best look trim away as much of the old floorboards as possible, with still leaving enough to weld to. finish the underside with a seam sealer, 3m makes one that I use. It is paintable and flexible and will withstand alot. I would also recommend a self etching primer on the bottom before using an undercoating or paint. Hope that helps. Jerry
