Re: Common rust areas and whether to bail on a resto

Not exactly sure where Dusty is, but it is common for cars and trucks from the Moses Lake area in Washington (east of the Cascades) to have rusted out floors, because of the snow and salt that came into the cab on the boots of the drivers.

Thank you. Yeah, my floor feels solid but who knows what is hiding under the vinyl. From what I understand, floor pan patches aren't such a big deal because you can't see them. I think the most important thing is to have fairly straight original sheet metal?

I really need to post some good pics, I have a lot of little things I wonder about.
