Cab floor

I have started work on my 1970 short box 4x4 and of course there's rust. I cut out the rear cab corner and noticed the floor was rusted out and the pervious owner tried to weld a patch in but it doesn't look correct. I was wonder if anyone has a picture of their rear cab floor corner drivers and passenger side so I can see if I can make a patch to look more stock. I've tried google but I can seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Re: Cab floor

There are lots of patch panels available in the aftermarket for the exact area of the cab so you don't have to fab one up. Unless you want to of course... and that's your perogative.

Re: Cab floor

THIS shows how I made the patch for my
driver side rear corner. (starting at post #708)
