Not as good as I would like. Lots of work to get it to your caliber.

BTW Happy Thanksgiving. Are you going to get some garage time over the holiday?

Re: Company Trucks

Definitely jealous of your shop bud, lol. Looks like you are grabbing the bull by the horns and jumping right in. How much of a pain was it to pull the floor like that? It's pretty much all spot welds right? I'll be rebuilding my floor soon and that looks like a tempting route. Keep up the good work.

The floor wasn't bad. The only spot welds were along the back panel with the way I did it. First I braced the cab, then off of the bracing I made a fixture to locate all the critical parts of the floor and panels. Then I just cut down the A and B pillars along the rocker panel. Then across the toe board.

Re: Company Trucks

Started the drivers side cab corner. Ran into all kinds of headaches. So I'm going to leave it for tomorrow.

I have to say for as many of these replacement parts I see being used on this board and elsewhere. You would think they would have gotten there fitment a little better then it is by now. Rant Over....
