Rust repair?

[FirstRide]

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?

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.

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

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.

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