Floor pan separation
Are the floor pans glued together as factory? Mine are starting to separate, and am not sure if I can bolt them or just align and re-glue? I noticed this from under the truck not from inside the cab.

Re: Floor pan separation
I would think bolted or spot welded yes...but not glued. A Ford or Dodge might be glued together. It's possible that there might be some sealer on the floor pan.

Re: Floor pan separation
Well they are definitely not bolted, and all I can see is sealer or glue. No spot welds that are visible any way. What can I do?

Re: Floor pan separation
what you are probably seeing is seam sealer ... it's not a glue, but more of a "caulking" the factory used where two panels joined & spot welded. It's used to help make the panels water proof without welding them solid.
