Post up your progress, I don't go over to CK5 anymore. Kurt said you have it blown apart

Re: PO has me PO'd
With the floor patch it runs an extra 8", so you have to calculate your cut and 90 degree bend to match up to the factory seam, this floorboard is already to drop in...Work on your lower A and B, rocker panel and your dun

Re: PO has me PO'd
Question, I may have to do the full floor replacement. It looks like you have the floor that has the floor supports and braces attached. I had already bought the floor supports so I'm wondering if I can get away with buying the naked floor and weld the supports that I already have to it? Or should I just try to sell all the sheet metal that I have and buy the complete (with supports and braces) floor? The reason I ask is because it's more that a $100 price difference between the two when all that's different is the supports that I already own. That $100 could go towards shipping.

Re: PO has me PO'd
It's for a Blazer and I'd be in WAY over my head so I'd probably have some body guys do it on the side for me...but the floors are pretty bad and it's even gone up the seat supports which aren't in any pans that I know of. So this looks like the best way to go. I'd just hate to spend $120 more to just get the parts that I already have pre-attached. I'm sure I could handle that much. Btw, this complete floor replacement....pretty much has to be done off the frame correct?

It may be possible to do it with it still on the frame, considering how the pan drops in from the top

Re: PO has me PO'd
You mean if I were to get the complete floor with supports and braces? So then for me, the naked floor would be the best way to go?

Re: PO has me PO'd
so THAT'S what you're doing with the floor. How are you going to brace it once you cut the braces off?

Re: PO has me PO'd
I have access to an overhead 'I' beam, thought I could hang the cab by the firewall to give it support. We'll see how it goes, may change my idea as the work progresses. I would like to have the doors on, before I make the final cuts...

I agree on the thread, this is quite a project and one of the first I've seen using the new floor. And Kurt, were you looking at your Blazer or swb, or is there another one that we don't know about yet?

![]() I'm trying to figure out how to put a full floorboard in a Jimmy, and I thought the fit was good here. Maybe if we put in Tim's he'll be ready for the Mich. run ![]() From what I can tell, the crossmember is an issue, and you have to cut out the low hump, and shorten the lenght and reflange it to a 90 degree bend Oh yes the one in the basement, forgot about her... new nose job, '67 cowl hood and inner fenders. Scap the '72 grille suround and build new eyebrows to match the '67 hood lenght I'll try to post up pics next time Quote:
